In 2014 Paola Bernardelli invited artist and curator Theo Sims to carry out a research based residency in Italy and meet art practitioners in Rome for possible future collaborations with LICA (Lewyc Institute of Contemporary Art).
Whilst most residencies are geared towards artists, Art Arcadia also recognises the need to encourage mobility and discussion to wider creative practitioners such as curators, technicians and directors.
Sims also visited La Mola, in Pietrafitta, one of the Art Arcadia sites, researching the future possibility of creating a collaboration/exchange between artists in Western Canada and Central Italy.
