Mudhouse Residency is Accepting Applications for Jun 29 - Jul 13, 2020 Session

Mudhouse Residency

No Funding
Lasithi, Greece

Eligibility

The residency program is ideal for professional artists with an established practice seeking the time and space to realize an individual project. For studio artists our facilities include 24 hour access to an open format studio space in the heart of the village. The studio is well ventilated, with north, south and east facing windows to provide natural light and is outfitted with electrical lighting, tables, chairs, and easels. Dancers and choreographers are provided use of a separate practice space with athletic flooring. Access to the Music house concert hall and grand piano is available to one composer-in-residence per session. The residency also provides artists who don’t require the use of a studio with the time and structure to focus on a non-studio based project, be it a novel, screenplay, video, or photographic series. Crete is a visual feast for the eyes, arresting in natural beauty but also a complex system of modern life existing in the footprints of ancient civilizations.

Number of Participants

The residency is inclusive to a number of artistic disciplines, with the facilities to accommodate studio artists, photographers, writers, choreographers and composers. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis in three application periods, or until all available spots are filled in all sessions. There will be three residency sessions in the summer of 2020; June 8 - 22, June 29 - July 13, July 20 - August 3. We are accepting 14 artists for each session. Only spouses that are participating as fellow artists-in-residents are allowed. Children are not allowed as part of the Residency. We encourage our artists to think of this as undisturbed time, a respite from daily life and an opportunity to participate fully in a new community.

Program Description

The program is structured for maximum time in the village, utilizing the ruins as classroom and work space. Meals are taken family style at the village taverna and following dinner, artists are invited to present a slideshow lecture or reading on their work for fellow residents. At the end of each session an exhibition is mounted at the Agios Ioannis Cultural Center, with a corresponding reception in which the residents of the village and surrounding villages are invited to celebrate with the artists. During the residency there is the opportunity to take part in workshops and group excursions. All the workshops are open to any artist-in-residence, regardless of the artist’s background or experience. In 2020 we will be offering workshops in monotoype and relief printmaking, ceramics, and figure drawing. There will be group excursions to the Mochlos archaeological site, Green Beach, and the Thripti Mountain range.
