They are open to artists, writers, performers, musicians, scholars, and any other creatives. All of our residencies take place in Athens, Greece. Autumn in Athens is great. It’s still warm and sunny, and the tourist mania of summer is over. It’s a time for reflection, exploration, and manifestation. Duration of residency We still have limited spaces available for Autumn 2026. You can apply for any period between two weeks (minimum) and three months (maximum) between September 1 and December 15. Accommodation You’ll stay in our neoclassical apartments, where you will feel like a Hungarian princess contemplating the decadent times.

Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Residencies are open to artists, writers, performers, musicians, scholars, and any other creatives. We support residents by providing personalised recommendations for places to go, things to do, and people to meet in Athens. We can often arrange meetings with local artists, we know where you can source specialised materials, and we’ll help you quickly find your feet, scene, and inspiration in this amazing city.Studio / Workspace You'll work in our large, bright studios. We have private and shared studios, a store of basic materials, a woodshop, a kitchen, a library for quiet working or reading, and endless Athenian light.Fees and support €350 per week for a shared bedroom, €455 with a private bedroom (two weeks minimum) This includes accommodation, studio space, personalized support, and participation in our events.
