Eutopia Art Residency

About Eutopia

"For artists, writers, and creative minds seeking reconnection, clarity, and meaningful creative time — Eutopia makes hospitality, place, and community part of the creative process itself."

Eutopia Art Residency is a non-profit organisation (AMKE) founded in 2007 in Xanthi, Greece. In 2027 it runs artist residencies in Kavala by the sea (3 weeks, from €2,280), in the 16th-century Poretsou Monastery in the Peloponnese (12 days, €1,780, all meals included) and in Meteora (a 12-day international ceramics symposium). Groups are small, more than 293 artists from 40+ countries have taken part, and applying is free.

Who is Eutopia for?

Artists, writers, photographers, architects, ceramicists, curators, and filmmakers — typically 35 to 65 — who are seeking reconnection, clarity, and meaningful creative time. People who value meaning over status, atmosphere over luxury, and depth over productivity.

Is this a traditional artist residency?

No. Traditional residencies focus on output — production, prestige, exhibitions. Eutopia focuses on the conditions that allow creation: process, rhythm, atmosphere, and human connection. There is no pressure to produce. There is time, place, and community.
