20 Universities With No Application Fee for International Students

[katrinaneumann]

  Location: Athens, Greece

  Cost: The Residency cost is €1500 for one month, €1350/ mo. for two or three consecutive months and €1200/mo. for four months up until one year of residency. The Residency cost includes housing as well as 24 hour access to the studio building.

We don’t provide any fellowships or stipends through the Residency itself, but we are committed to helping artists secure funding through outside organizations, providing guidance on grants and stipend opportunities as well as issuing formal letters of acceptance to aid in the application process.

  Application Fee: No application fee

  Number of Artists: Up to 14 artists at a time

  Accommodations: We provide shared housing with other residency artists around the Athens metropolitan area. The residency also provides the artists with a dedicated studio space in a repurposed commercial building. The studio boasts abundant natural light, and includes such amenities as a communal workspace/ woodshop, storage for works in progress, a kitchenette and lounge, keypad access and a security guard in the evenings, as well as a studio manager to provide assistance five days per week.

At this point in time we also have the unique opportunity to offer artists in residence the use of two other floors of the studio building, which have yet to be renovated, for the sole purpose of curating a pop up exhibition, installation or performance.

    Length of Stay: One month up until one year

  Demographic & Medium: We are looking for established or emerging artists with a serious studio practice, who are interested in spending a month or more in Athens, connecting with international artists and art professionals and contributing to a vibrant cultural community.

We have 14 semi-private studios, and we are equipped to accommodate painters, draftsman and installation artists. We have a basic community wood shop and a storage room for wet paintings. Our studios are equipped with WIFI, and we can welcome sound and video artists who work primarily on their laptops. We do not have a darkroom or a printing press, but we have hand rubbing tools and a pin roller, and we can offer studio space for photographers. We are looking forward to expanding to other floors in the building in the future, creating more space for printmaking and sculpture facilities. In the interim we have the unique ability to be able to offer the raw space as exhibition and installation opportunities for the artists in residence.

    Benefits: Integrally, professional development opportunities abound throughout the residency program. It is our mission to allow for the exchange of ideas and to provide for the opportunity to form lasting professional relationships with international colleagues. Athena Standards’ in-house art historian and curator, Elizabeth Plessa, will be visiting the studios of the resident artists regularly to discuss the progress of their work.

Additionally, a series of visiting artist talks of various practitioners of the cultural industry have been organized so that by the end of their stay in Athens the ASR residents will have experienced a comprehensive consultancy regarding their practice. The residency program concludes with an open studio event in which members of the artistic community are invited to tour the studios and see the final works.

    Mission: Athena Standards Residency was born of the idea that the city of Athens offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience simultaneously the vibrant urban culture of a contemporary city and the rich history of an ancient cosmopolitan center.

documenta 14 put the city of Athens on the map of the contemporary art scene, and as a result there has been an influx of art practitioners to Athens. The city continues to be an artistic hub, welcoming people from all over the world, who have found new ground to express their ideas.

Athens Standards Residency was initiated in 2017 in response to the need for dedicated space and community, in order to carry forth in the vein of cultural production and exchange. With the intention of creating a network of international and local artists, the residency program aims to encourage a dialogue with the local art scene.

The residency program provides the artists with a dedicated studio space in a repurposed commercial building, located in a bustling neighborhood of coffee shops, bars and restaurants and conveniently situated next to the Kato Patissia Metro stop.

    Benefits: Artists benefit from an intense, catalytic learning experience studying their chosen discipline with one of the most celebrated artists in their field.

After the session, all participants benefit from our post-course support. We run an art gallery and performance venue, a publishing house, three record labels and are part of an extensive European touring network.

    Mission: CAMP is the first of a new breed of arts residency. We run five-day residential arts, music, writing, philosophy, environmental and arts-activist sessions. These are no ordinary courses – they are intense, artistic catalysts run by internationally acclaimed practitioners; creative flashpoints designed to change the lives of everyone involved. Our current program includes opportunities to study with Turner Prize winner Laure Prouvost, celebrated composer Gavin Bryars, Cabaret Voltaire founder and world-famous sound recordist Chris Watson, legendary performance artist Anne Bean, ambient guru Laraaji, NYC avant-garde composer/performer/artist Eli Keszler, revolutionary soundseeker/composer Christina Kubisch and many others.

It’s a place where great art is made, new movements are formed, new ideas are explored and groundbreaking people are nurtured. It’s about generating revolutions, incubating creative minds and bringing the best emerging practitioners in all artistic fields to their full potential.

CAMP is operated by the team behind Fuse Art Space. Fuse Art Space is an art gallery, performance space and cultural hub based in the city centre of Bradford, UK. Launched in 2013, Fuse Art Space quickly gained a reputation as one of the most dynamic avant garde arts spaces in the north of England. Over the last four years we have hosted acclaimed exhibitions of Syrian protest art, feminist cross-media installations (including work by Poppy Jackson, Sue Williams, Rupi Kaur, Faith Holland and others), climate change activist installations as part of the ArtCOP project, the first ever Portrait Salon printed show, Lydia Goldblatt’s last solo exhibition before she won the Tokyo International Photography Grand Prix, sonic installations featuring work by Jez Riley French, Mike Harding, BJ Nilsen, Tara Jane Oneil and MV Carbon, and situationist interventions reflecting audience focus back out into the city.

As a performance venue, we have hosted performances, frequently UK exclusive, by Chris Watson, Philip Jeck, Kyoka, Karen Gwyer, Damian Dubrovnik, Helm, Robert Millis, John Chantler, Wanda Group, Basic House, Eric Chenaux, Illum Sphere, Space Dimension Controller, Awesome Tapes From Africa, Rafael Toral, Richard Dawson, Alash, Container, Cooly G, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Islam Chipsy, AGF, Ela Orleans, Ian William Craig, Carla Bozulich, Rene Hell, Elysia Crampton, Novi_Sad, Jason Lescalleet, King Ayisoba, Led Bib, Matana Roberts and dozens of other game-changing artists.

The focus of CAMP is to use what we have – our artistic network, our facilities, our various record labels and publishing operations, our relationships with acclaimed artists and our artist support platforms – to provide people with a catalytic, game-changing masterclass experience, in inspiring surroundings.
