Lakkos

About

The Lakkos Artist Residency in Heraklion, Crete, is an artist-run program offering a peaceful yet vibrant environment for creatives. Located in the historic old town, the residency hosts up to two artists at a time, providing private accommodations and studio spaces. The residency encourages self-directed projects across various disciplines, from visual arts and writing to performance and ceramics. Residents can explore collaborations with the local community, contributing to the revitalization of the Lakkos neighborhood. With flexible stays starting from two weeks, the program provides a supportive space for independent creation in a culturally rich urban setting. Artists enjoy access to a lively arts scene, local markets, and historic landmarks, all within a short walk from the residency.
