Candid conversations with global art foundations
What is the quiet power of artist residencies?
Artist residencies are booming. But who gets access, and what keeps them going? Three conversations. Big questions.
Join Stoa and Cité internationale des arts to explore what’s shaping the future of artist residencies.
Candid conversations with global art foundations
Borrowing from the ancient Greek practice of gathering for public discourse, At the Stoa brings together foundation leaders, artists, curators, scholars, and cultural professionals for a series of panel discussions on the most pressing questions facing the sector. Held at major cultural venues in cities across the world, Stoa convenings are timed where possible to coincide with significant art world moments.

Turin: Thursday, 29 October 2026
One morning. One city. Leading directors of art foundations gather at OGR Torino to ask what changes when institutions deliver on their intention to collaborate — what are the real obstacles, and possibilities, when working together.
Following a keynote celebrating Turin’s success with regional collaboration, foundation leaders take the stage to share honestly about the relevance and continuing evolution of the arts as leaders within the civic space.
