Mudhouse Residency

Agios Ioannis, Greece

The Mudhouse Residency, situated in the serene village of Agios Ioannis on Crete, Greece, is a haven for artists seeking inspiration from the stunning natural environment, solitude for creative growth, an artistic community for enriching professional practices, and a deep cultural immersion in a region with a rich historical background. Founded in 2015, the Mudhouse is now in its eighth year and offers three two-week sessions each summer to a diverse, multicultural, and multi-generational group of international contemporary artists. The residency welcomes artists from various disciplines, including visual arts, writing, music, and performance, fostering dialogues across traditional boundaries. Participants are invited to share their work with fellow residents through presentations and to partake in a closing exhibition that integrates the local historical and natural scenery. The Mudhouse is distinct for its commitment to affordability and diversity, achieved through the support of individual donors and foundations, which allows the provision of both full and partial fellowships determined by a competitive, juried process based on merit and financial need. The residency fee covers accommodations, as well as lunch and dinner served daily, with artists encouraged to explore Crete's rich landscape and historical sites.
