Stress.Studio Residency — Athens, Greece Deadline: 31 Dec 2027 Country: Greece Stress.Studio Residency is an independent, self-directed artist residency initiated by AdhocArts, an artist-led non-profit collective based in Athens, Greece. The programme offers artists time, space and basic infrastructure to focus on their practice, develop new work, conduct research or experiment with new ideas in a supportive and flexible environment. There is no fixed thematic framework, and artists are encouraged to follow their own interests and working methods. The residency welcomes both individual practitioners and collaborators working together, particularly those engaged in experimental music, sound art, performance, visual arts, film, writing and interdisciplinary practices. Located in central Athens, Stress.Studio provides a dedicated workspace and private accommodation, allowing artists to concentrate on their work while having the opportunity to connect with the local artistic context through AdhocArts. Residencies are available throughout the year, subject to availability, for periods of one to two weeks. The programme is designed to support independent artistic research and process rather than require the production of a finished work or public outcome. Optional public presentations, listening sessions, screenings or other forms of exchange can be arranged in consultation with the artist. Duration of residency 1–2 weeks. Artists may apply for either one or two weeks, depending on their project and the availability of the space. Dates are flexible and agreed upon individually.

The accommodation can host one resident or up to two people travelling together, such as artistic collaborators or a couple, by arrangement. Accommodation is included in the residency cost.
