Sfakiotes Residency in the mountains of Lefkada island, Ionian Islands, Greece, is an artist residency for visual artists, researchers, musicians, curators & producers. The programme`s mission is to encourage multi-disciplinary artist creation and art-related scientific work.
The residency building is a traditional 2-storey old country house in the Sfakiotes mountains in a tiny village of Asprogerakata. The building has been renovated fully into an artist residency. The Programme started to run in January 2011.
The open, 2-storey studio space is best suitable for computer-based work, research and small-scale painting & drawing. One applicant, a group of maximum 4 people or a family can apply at a time for a 2 week to 2 months period.
