Skop Art was a fantastic Residency. Every single person there, whether it was other residents, teachers, or Jill, the director, immediately felt like family. People were supportive, welcoming, generous, and incredibly kind-hearted. When I got sick, Jill and Christos (the landlord) took me to the doctors and made me chicken soup. The studio itself is fabulous; the open-air studio space for painting was a beautiful change of pace from my cramped NYC life. I had plenty of space to spread out and work, get messy, and experiment. Not to mention, the view from the studio overlooks the ocean and Skopelos island, and it is magnificent. The apartments are less than a 5 minute walk from the studio, making your "commute" incredibly easy. The island itself is extremely abundant with produce, so I found myself picking cherries, mulberries, and plums all day to snack on! Don't expect high luxury on this island, and be prepared to walk a lot if you want to go to town or the beaches. However, you will meet truly kind, welcoming people while living on this Greek island! I would definitely recommend Skop Art! — Anonymous, 2017. Imported from the original ratemyartistresidency.com archive.
