Lopud Art Foundation – Lopud Artist Retreat The story of the Lopud Art Foundation began in 2OO9 with a series of fortunate events, when architect Steven Harris and designer Lucien Rees Roberts, owners of an award-winning New York studio, undertook the restoration of an exceptional 15th-century Lopud estate. Through careful restoration, guided by respect for natural and cultural heritage, they preserved the simple and original forms, untouched in their authentic beauty. The result is an inspiring place that exudes immense elegance, serving as an artist retreat for creative individuals from all fields of art, as it deserves. The Lopud Artist Retreat is a place where writers, directors, producers, musicians, composers, painters, sculptors, and visual artists can focus on their work in the tranquillity and beauty of Lopud island. The retreat takes place twice a year, in spring and autumn, with four artists invited each session to immerse themselves in this inspiring atmosphere for four weeks. Ponta Lopud has collaborated with the Lopud Art Foundation since its founding, with the unique goal of providing an inspiring creative environment for artists, beautifully completing this story on Lopud.
