POP-UP EXHIBITION — BARGA
For the past two weeks, international artists Rachael Van Dyke and Jodi Ferrier have been settling into life in Barga as artists in residence at Quattro Archi—walking its streets, looking closely at its architecture, taking in its history and culture, and finding inspiration in the everyday details of the town.
As they prepare to leave, they are bringing together the work created during their stay for a special one-evening pop-up exhibition. The exhibition offers a glimpse of Barga through the eyes of two visiting artists, each responding to the town in her own way.
Join Rachael and Jodi at the Quattro Archi Gallery on Saturday, 26 September, from 6–7pm for a glass of wine, conversation and a chance to see what Barga has inspired.
Artwork will be available for purchase unstretched and unframed for easy transport.
As part of Quattro Archi’s contribution to “Barga, Town of Art,” accommodation, studio and gallery space have been provided free of charge to the artists.
All are welcome. Free entry.
We look forward to seeing you!

MOSTRA "POP-UP" — BARGA
Nelle ultime due settimane, le artiste internazionali Rachael Van Dyke e Jodi Ferrier si sono immerse nella vita di Barga come artiste in residenza presso Quattro Archi: hanno passeggiato per le strade, osservato con attenzione l'architettura, assorbito la storia e la cultura locale e trovato ispirazione nei dettagli quotidiani della cittadina.
In vista della loro partenza, riuniscono le opere realizzate durante il soggiorno in una speciale mostra "pop-up" di una sola serata. L'esposizione offre uno sguardo su Barga attraverso gli occhi di due artiste ospiti, ognuna delle quali ha interpretato la città secondo la propria sensibilità.
Unitevi a Rachael e Jodi presso la Galleria Quattro Archi sabato 26 settembre, dalle 18:00 alle 19:00, per un bicchiere di vino, due chiacchiere e l'opportunità di scoprire le opere ispirate da Barga.
Le opere saranno disponibili per l'acquisto senza telaio né cornice, per facilitarne il trasporto.
Nell'ambito del contributo di Quattro Archi all'iniziativa "Barga, Città dell'Arte", l'alloggio, lo studio e lo spazio espositivo sono stati messi a disposizione delle artiste a titolo gratuito.
Tutti sono i benvenuti. Ingresso libero.
Vi aspettiamo!
Every year we get asked to issue are schedule earlier because people like to book things and get their plans in place early. So we're happy to be able to offer the chance to book all our 2027 courses now. They start in May and run through to the middle of September. We take a break in the middle of the summer when it can be a little warm, though I understand the El Nino weather effect that made this year so hot fades away in February next year. In 2027 we'd particularly like to welcome for the first time Ade Adesina who is a very well established printmaker. You may possibly have seen pictures of hime recently showning Queen Camilla around the RSA exhibition in Edinburgh. Ade will be running a printmaking course and doing a mini residency, so I have every expectation that Barga will feature in his future work. We're also delighted to see Carole Waller and Michael Waight return to run their popular silk dying and drypoint courses. And a final mention to Dan and Arjen who will be running a storytelling workshop. This is a first for Quattro Archi but I understand these super-talented storytellers will help the participants create and perform stories while they're in Barga. 2027 Courses and Workshops now open for booking: Colour-into-cloth....silk scarves with Carole Waller. 26 May-1 June 2027 Botanical Printing....natural dyes and lots of leaves with Jo Horswill. 3-13 June & 14-21 June 2027 Printing with Ade Adesina.....lino cuts with dremel tools. 22-28 June 2027 Folktale, Fact & Fiction....foktale fantasies with Scottish and Netherlands story tellers Dan and Arjen. 7-13 July 2027 Drypoint Masterclass.....modern version of a traditional method....great results...with Michael Waight. 30 August-5 September 2027 Lino & Jazz....and Jane....lino cut course while the famous Barga Jazz festival is on.....22-28 August 2027 Painting Retreat with Jane Richardson...painting with other artists.....do your own thing or try the optional tuition in various techniques. 6-12 September.

Quattro Achi
Quattro Archi is a studio, a gallery, a project, a destination, a home. We aim to provide art courses and opportunities without a drive for profit....we do it for fun. This is our fifth year of offering free artist residencies, exhibitions and vacation art courses. We are proud to have inspired half a dozen artists to develop a portfolio of work based on Barga. Around 400 people have stayed with us for nearly a week and most of those people had never heard of Barga before, so it seems we are helping to put Barga on the map as an art destination. It's satisfying to see the group chat from four years ago is still alive. We are comfortable, well kitted out, friendly and we don't mind if you spill paint on the floor! Join us and find out for yourself. The 2027 schedule is open for booking on our website.
