Athens — September 2026

Art House Collective

Residencies and studios for artists working at the intersection of art, social justice, and environmental action. Athens opens September 2026.

We build spaces where artists live and work together across disciplines, languages, and politics. The work made here takes on injustice directly. The people who make it are committed to challenging systems of oppression, and their own role within them.

01

Art that confronts power

Not a neutral space. We support work that takes on climate injustice, displacement, state violence, and the structures behind them.

02

Built with, for, and by community

At least 50% of every cohort are artists from the host country or holding refugee and/or residency status there. The space belongs to the place it's in.

03

Co-creation across disciplines

A choreographer and a printmaker and a sound engineer and a chef in the same residency. That's deliberate.

04

You can't make liberatory art with exploitative materials

The ethics run through the whole chain: what you source, how you make, how you host, how you sell. We support artists in working this through from start to finish.

12+ mediums, 1 roof.

How it works.

You join for the length of a project. That might be a week, a month, or six months. The residency is shaped around the work you're making.

Every artist has someone in-country and someone remote. Making art is a process of learning and evolution, and the support is built around that.

All intellectual property and financial rights to the art you make belong to you. We ask that the work also be shared on the website and artists' portal at no cost, so other artists in current and future residencies can learn from it.

The work doesn't stop when the residency ends.

Every artist gets access to the artists' portal. A private platform to find collaborators across hubs, share work in progress, and stay connected across languages and time zones.
