Argo courses provide a chance to learn fundamental skills and develop your practice in a social, supportive, and stimulating environment.
They are taught by experienced professional artists from around the world.
You’ll stay in our neo-classical apartments…
Where you will feel like a Hungarian princess contemplating the decadent times. Or you can play flâneur, sipping coffee at one of the 13 cafes in the square outside.
There are two kitchens, two bathrooms, five bedrooms, and a large shared lounge.
… work in our large, bright studios …
We have private and shared studios, a store of basic materials, a woodshop, a kitchen, a library for quiet working or reading, and endless Athenian light.
… be part of a creative community …
We have up to seven residents at a time, so Argo provides plenty of opportunities for learning new skills from your fellow residents, working collaboratively, or simply hanging out.
Residents regularly share meals, go to art shows together, and many leave the residency with new friends.
… and get personalised support to develop your practice.
We support residents by providing personalised recommendations for places to go, things to do, and people to meet in Athens.
We can often arrange meetings with local artists, we know where you can source specialised materials, and we’ll help you quickly find your feet, scene, and inspiration in this amazing city.
Over the course of 10 days, Rachna will introduce students to a variety of basic textile skills, including embroidery, hand weaving on a frame loom, and weaving on paper. With an emphasis on encouraging excitement and curiosity, students will gather inspiration from the buzzing atmosphere of Athens, the natural environment of Greece, and the ancient cultural heritage of this amazing city.
FINAL 2 SPACES STILL AVAILABLE
Over the course of 10 days, Gwen will guide students to reflect on big questions of our times themed around ecopsychology. Through journaling, dialoguing, meditation, and movement, students will learn to tap into the Earth and their bodies. Gwen will provide gentle, encouraging guidance to help students orient and explore in a safe container. Throughout the workshop, students will question: What does it mean to grapple with climate change? What are specific ways to grapple with it?
More information on the course, and how to apply for it, is coming soon. In the meantime, you can register your interest by getting in touch with us.
