ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Bored Peach Club is a Gozo based creative platform supporting artists through residencies, workshops, exhibitions and collaborative projects.
We create structured opportunities for artists to live, work and develop ideas within the cultural landscape of the island. Our programmes are designed to balance focused studio time with meaningful engagement in local context. At the centre of our work is Bored Peach Club Residency House in Xagħra, Gozo. The space hosts visiting artists for short and extended stays, providing accommodation, studio facilities and practical support.
Alongside residencies, we organise artist led workshops, public talks and small scale exhibitions. These projects bring together visiting artists, local creatives and the wider community.
Retreat to Art is part of this wider programme.
It extends our residency ethos into a concentrated, shared studio experience held within a specific cultural moment.
We believe strong creative work benefits from structure, dialogue and place. Our role is to build the framework that allows artists to focus on what matters most: the work.
THE SPACE
Retreat to Art 2026 takes place at the Bored Peach Club Residency House, a place where artists come together from around the world, creating a cool club where everyone’s invited to mix and mingle. It’s like a global party where artists of all stripes hang out, swap ideas, and team up to make awesome stuff.
The house is located in Xaghra, Gozo. This enchanting island is a haven for artists, offering an abundance of inspiration. With its rich history dating back to the Neolithic period, Gozo is a treasure trove of ancient wonders, such as the Ġgantija Temples, one of the oldest free-standing structures in the world. The island’s picturesque landscapes, with rolling hills, rugged cliffs, and pristine beaches, provide a stunning backdrop for creativity. The vibrant local culture, characterised by traditional festivals, crafts, and cuisine, further enriches the artistic atmosphere. Gozo’s environment, combined with its deep historical roots and lively cultural scene, makes it an inspiring destination for artists seeking to immerse themselves in beauty
and history.
On any given day, Xagħra is home to the Ta’ Kola Windmill and the Ġgantija Temples, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back over 5,000 years. The village sits between open countryside and distant sea views, with stone streets, agricultural land and everyday life unfolding at an unhurried pace.
