Like any living organism, Onassis AiR constantly evolves in order to support the needs of its artistic community. Onassis AiR, invites artists, curators, designers, dancers, chefs, gardeners, activists, writers, educators, legal advocates, performers, economists, architects, filmmakers and other practitioners from any medium of expression or discipline, from anywhere in the world, to apply for a Tailor-made Residency running between September 2023 and July 2024 in Athens, Greece.
Each residency will stem from the participants’ needs. This programme is for anyone in need of support who is yearning for space, focused time, and stimulating conversations that can help to kick-off, further develop, or finalise a project and who is interested in engaging with the locale of Athens.
All participants are invited to use the Onassis AiR space and resources to develop their thinking and practices without the expectation of presenting a final work. Additionally, the programme offers professional development activities including mentoring sessions, presentations and peer-to-peer feedback sessions, organised site-visits to local art spaces and other institutions, and opportunities to meet and connect with local artists and arts professionals.
Founded on the principles of learning and doing with others, Onassis AiR fosters the conditions for dialogue and exchange between peers through collective activities addressed to the Onassis AiR Community. These can take the form of a workshop, an in-progress presentation, a lecture or screening, or any other format the Fellows wish to propose.
All accepted participants will receive a research fee, housing, travel to/from Athens, a research budget, and other resources.
