As this is a private home and is not yet registered as an Association, all events at The Little Barn are private, invitation only affairs. The idea is that artist guests will offer the community something in exchange for staying and working in TLB and this can be anything they choose, from an exhibition, to a talk, a workshop, a guided walk - anything, as long as it might be of interest to the people of Vayres and other artists within the area.
Events are free. For one of the limited places, please email denise - thelittlebarnretreat@gmail.com

2026
The first TLB events were in 2023
Gareth Phillips was the inaugral artist in residence and he opened up the studio to visitors by hosting a simple vernissage. There were incredible experimental photobooks, family, friends, neighbours, wine, homemade food and it was all rather fabulous.
There is always something joyful about bringing together good people to experience art. Gareth ended up speaking to the steady stream of visitors for almost four hours, non-stop.

Mark delivered the first talk with projections, sharing his incredible project, 'A Wounded Landscape'.
To find out more about the project and the event itself, please go to the 'Artist's Talks' section. I hope that we will have more talks next year.
