The Lopud Foundation is a nonprofit organization that hosts retreats for artists and writers from across the globe, offering seclusion and stimulus for their creative endeavors.
Founded in 2022, the Foundation hosts visual artists, writers, composers, architects, and more on the island of Lopud, located off the coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia. Retreats take place twice a year. Each day, artists focus on their practice then come together in the evening for dinner and dialogue. Travel, meals, and accommodation are all supported by the Foundation.
Participation is by invitation only.
