Chapelle Saint Antoine Residency (Due Dec. 15)
Chapelle Saint Antoine Residency
Deadline: December 15th, 2025
The Residency
History
La Chapelle Saint-Antoine is located in the heart of the Kastro - the oldest part of the city of Chora - in an old Venetian house which became a monastery in the early 17th century until the beginning of the 20th century. Agios Antonios - the small chapel that adjoins the monastery and which gave its name to the residency - although in a decrepit state- adorns beautifully this unique architectural complex
Program
From April to November we welcome two artists per month free of charge. The selection is open to all artistic disciplines and nationalities. During their residency, each artist has a room - a private bathroom - as well as a personal workshop. The artists share the kitchen - the main room serving as an exhibition gallery during «open days» - as well as a terrace of nearly two hundred square meters facing the sea and the mountains.
Donation
Each resident agrees to donate a completed artwork, representative of its work, whether created during their residency or not. Each of these donations will enrich the private collection of La Chapelle Saint-Antoine, which is exhibited publicly each year.
Transportation
The cost of transportation is the responsibility of the artist or the organization that represents him. On site, the means of transportation are also at the artist’s expense.
Material
The artist may order art materials online from a fine art store located in Athens. The Chapel will take delivery.
Exhibition
At the end of each residency, La Chapelle organizes an «open studio» for the public to see the artists’ work and to interact with them. The artist commits to prepare the scenography of this day.
