Eligibility

All fellowships are awarded through a competitive, juried process. Determined by a selection committee, Full fellowships will be based on the merit of the applicants’ work while Partial fellowships will be need-based. Through the support of individual donors and foundations, the Mudhouse is able to extend a Full or Partial Fellowship to every artist who attends. As an artist founded and run residency program, The Mudhouse aims to provide as much support to artists as possible through full and partial fellowships each application cycle. Partial fellowship recipients are asked to pay a reduced fee to attend. While the overall cost of The Mudhouse Residency is $4,200 per artist for the Summer 2024, the residency fee for partially funded fellowships is $3200. Artists who demonstrate additional financial need may request further financial assistance of a 25% discount, bringing the residency fee to $2600.

Number of Participants

Each of the 3 summer sessions averages 14 artists. The residency program is ideal for professional artists with an established practice seeking the time and space to realize an individual project. The residency includes 24 hr access to a spacious studio facility, practice space with athletic flooring, or access to the Music house grand piano, depending on the artist's discipline. We welcome writers, photographers and filmmakers as well, as our residency provides the time and structure to focus on a non-studio based project. The residency is inclusive to a number of artistic disciplines, with the facilities to accommodate studio artists, painters, printmakers, filmmakers, ceramicists, fiber artists, photographers, writers, poets, dancers, musicians, choreographers and composers.

Program Description

The Mudhouse is an artist residency located in the village of Agios Ioannis on the Island of Crete, Greece. The Mudhouse Residency aims to provide artists inspiration derived from an engagement with the stunning natural beauty of its environment, solitude to foster creative growth, an artistic community to enrich professional practices, and an immersive cultural experience within a profoundly rich historical context. Expectations: Artists are invited to present a slideshow, lecture or reading on their work for fellow residents, as well as participate in a closing exhibition at the Residency’s conclusion that will be installed jointly in the ruins around the village and the exhibition space. The artists' time is their own, to focus on their art practice and explore the rich history of southern Crete and the Minoan civilization.
