Apothiki Foundation

Description

Apothiki aims at introducing artists and organizations to the island atmosphere of Paros - a creative environment that has inspired artists for more than 5000 years - and further develop Paros as a meeting place for creative people from around the globe. In cooperation with artists, art galleries, foundations and cultural institutions - both Greek and international, this multi-functional space will host contemporary art exhibitions and cultural events and provide a working and living space for artists in residence. The Residency program is part of a wider range of activities organised in the art centre such as exhibitions, concerts and seminars. Artists, scholars, art managers and critics are invited to submit their application for a 2 to 4 week residency to take place in 2010 or 2011. The program will start in April 2010. Artists that like to organise a small 'group' residency can submit a joint application.

Outcome

Exhibition in the gallery.
