Once applications are checked for completeness in relation to the criteria listed above, applicants will be booked into the Residency on a first come, first served basis. Year on year Palazzo Rinaldi has limited availability, we therefore recommend that you apply early. In case requested dates are not available, Palazzo Rinaldi will make contact with the Applicant to discuss alternative options.  Please make sure to include full, up to date contact details on your Application Form. 

Once availability of your required Residency dates has been confirmed, your placement will need to be secured by a non-refundable booking Deposit of 30% of the total cost of your Residency stay (for 2012 Residency Fees please view our Artists’ Residencies page).  The Booking Deposit paid will be fully deducted from your final bill, payable on arrival. Bank transfer details will be communicated to selected Applicants at the booking stage.

Palazzo Rinaldi Cancellations & Amendments Policy: in the event of any amendments/ reductions in nights’ stay, any changes must be notified in writing by the Resident Artist within eight weeks from the check-in date, in which case the Residency Fee will be reduced proportionally and without penalties.  However should an amendment be notified with less than eight full weeks’ notice, the original Residency Fees will be due in full to Palazzo Rinaldi as a refund of booking lost.  Similarly, any bookings’ cancellations must be notified in writing to Palazzo Rinaldi within eight weeks from the check-in date in order to give the Residency the possibility to arrange for an alternative Resident Artist to fill the cancelled slot. Deposit payments are non-refundable and intended as reimbursement for no-shows in relation to specific dates and therefore cannot be transferred into the future.

Once your Booking Deposit has been received, you will be sent a written confirmation by email making your Residency booking official.
