Imagine being simultaneously offered the gifts of time, accommodation in a relaxing and inspiring setting, and resources with which to create. It sounds like a dream – but who gets to make it their reality? By rescuing artists from their usual material restrictions for a period of weeks or months, residencies serve as wonderful opportunities for creation. However, they are often reserved for artists who have travelled from afar. How can we avoid this “aquarium effect” and, in doing so, allow local artists to identify and enjoy their own residencies? How can we improve the visibility of artists’ residencies in Greece and Europe, and bring them into closer harmony?
