Summer Program 2025

The Argo Summer Semester is a 6-week multi-disciplinary art program. The next edition will take place in July 2025 in Greece.

Students will arrive in Athens at the end of June. We will spend a few days touring the city's cultural and artistic highlights, including visits to local contemporary art spaces.

We will then travel to the location of the school - this will be announced soon.

The core of the program is four weeks of in-depth art classes.

These classes will be delivered by working artists and academics who are each experts in their fields. Our classroom environment is challenging but supportive, emphasising process and experimentation. For the Summer 2025 program, we will offer classes on:

  • Thinking Through Drawing

  • Contemporary Art Contexts

  • Syncretic Histories of Greece

  • Performance and Movement Practice

  • Contemporary Textile Art

Cultural immersion and self-directed creative exploration

In addition to these classes, students are encouraged to take part in a range of other activities, including:

  • Genuinely independent studio practice

  • Excursions to cultural and historic sites

  • Weekly group critiques

  • Shared meals

  • One-on-one mentoring with teaching staff

  • Professional skills workshops

The semester culminates in a group exhibition in a gallery space.

Students will leave the semester with new practical and professional skills, a portfolio of new work, a catalog of the final exhibition, college credit, and a network of creative peers.

The design of this program is inspired by the Bauhaus.

We believe that every gathering - whether a taught class or a shared meal - is an opportunity for creative exchange and learning. Each course and conversation contributes to the next, creating a truly interdisciplinary environment which respects and promotes each student’s artistic vision.

This program is intended for all students of arts and culture.

This includes college students on a study abroad semester, students on a gap year before university, or independent scholars unaffiliated with an institution.
