Autumn Residency for Artists, Writers, and more in Athens, Greece

Planning your application

Applicants should present a clear, self-directed project or area of inquiry that would benefit from a period of focused work in Athens. The selection committee looks for evidence of a serious, independent practice and a realistic plan for using the residency time. While the program is open to artists at various career stages, a strong application will articulate how the specific context of Athens—its history, culture, and contemporary art scene—might inform the proposed work. It is advisable to apply well before the deadline and to ensure that all materials are submitted according to the guidelines on the website. Demonstrating a thoughtful approach to self-directed work and a genuine interest in engaging with the local environment can strengthen an application.
