Mission: The Non-Profit organization Pantheon and Kappatos Gallery, an influential space for contemporary art in Athens, is offering visual artists, curators and collectors the possibility to participate in its new residence program. By bringing international artists from a wide range of disciplines—including curators and collectors – our program enables the exchange of ideas and approaches that help catalyze new cultural and social perspectives.

Located in the historical centre of Athens, overlooking the Parthenon, the program supports artistic research and production for art professionals from around the world and will select established and emerging artists to share a live/work space for a six-week programme marked by intimate studio visits with, and public lectures by, distinguished leaders in contemporary art and curation and to exhibit for the following four-weeks at the Exhibition Space.

Cost: The new Artist/Curator/Collector-in-Residence in Athens is supported by NSRF (National Strategic Reference Framework 2007–2013 ESPA)

Application Fee: Free, proposals concerning emerging Artists that we could invite in Athens for the program

Accommodations: All participants in our Residency Program live in an astonishing flat (in terms of design and location); artists-in-residence who have a studio-based practice will be able to work at the 300 sq.m of the Exhibition Space. Located at the center of Athens, the studio and artists’ flat will connect participants in our program with the Athenian art scene.

Benefits: A live/work space for a six-week program marked by intimate studio visits with, and public lectures by, distinguished leaders in contemporary art, curation, and to exhibit for the following four-weeks at the Exhibition Space. The new Artist/Curator/Collector-in-Residence in Athens is supported by NSRF (National Strategic Reference Framework 2007–2013 ESPA) and represents a great opportunity for cross-border connection between emergent and more established artists. The residency is associated with Kappatos Gallery, a gallery that has represented and exhibited artists like: Marina Abramovic, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, William Kentridge, Phil Collins and other artists.
