The Mudhouse is an artist residency located in the village of Agios Ioannis on the Island of Crete, Greece. The Mudhouse Residency aims to provide artists inspiration derived from an engagement with the stunning natural beauty of its environment, solitude to foster creative growth, an artistic community to enrich professional practices, and an immersive cultural experience within a profoundly rich historical context.
Started in 2015 and now in its ninth year, the Mudhouse offers three two-week sessions each summer for international contemporary artists working across a manifold of artistic disciplines, from paint, to ceramics, to experimental film. We welcome visual artists, writers, musicians and performers. Hosting an incredibly diverse, multicultural, multi-generational cohort of artists in each residency session, the Mudhouse encourages dialogues across traditional boundaries. Artists are invited to present a slideshow, lecture or reading on their work for fellow residents, as well as participate in a closing exhibition at the Residency’s conclusion that will be installed jointly in the ruins around the village and the exhibition space. The artists' time is their own, to focus on their art practice and explore the rich history of southern Crete and the Minoan civilization.
The Mudhouse Residency provides accommodations, studio space, and two meals each day for the two week duration of the residency, in the village of Agios Ioannis, on the Greek island of Crete.
As an artist founded and operated residency, the Mudhouse’s ethos continues to be to provide an increasingly diverse group of artists an affordable, international residency experience. Determined by a selection committee, Full fellowships are based on the merit of the applicants work while Partial fellowships are need based.
Through the support of individual donors and foundations, the Mudhouse is able to extend a fellowship to every artist who requests aid. Partial fellowships cover a portion of the residency fee. While the overall cost of The Mudhouse Residency is $4,200 per artist for the Summer 2024, the residency fee for partially funded fellowships is $3200.
Artists who demonstrate additional financial need may request further financial assistance of a 25% discount on the reduced fee. Artists who request additional financial aid are asked to perform a job during the residency. This may be in studio upkeep, or setting up for artist presentations, or helping with the final exhibition. Additional financial aid brings the residency fee to $2600.
