Descoverartists hosts a variety of art retreats aiming to make artists question and explore their creative process. We aim to push the boundaries of what artists know, bring inspiration and create a discussion around art through cultural immersion. All artistic disciplines are welcome and a community is built, where people can live and work together, not only sharing their knowledge but also gaining from others. Descoverartists creates a “home” for all artists where they can be inspired and focus on their art.

There will be two retreats hosted by Descoverartists in 2025. All retreats aspire to become a friendly creative platform where people can coalesce as creatives to collaborate, create and inspire.

With an industry which stifles creativity and working together, we wanted to allow artists to extend their usual limits and immerse themselves into a completely collective way of living, enabling communal balance and drawing from the differences found within each artist and their methods.

The main focus of the residencies therefore, is collaboration and how the creative process can be evolved and grown in an environment that promotes working and living with other artists. We wanted to provide a space where artists will feel free to experiment, collaborate, network and experience the environment around them. We want to make sure that every member of the created collective will have something to offer to the group and to the experience itself.

Throughout the experience, every member will have the right to propose ideas, discuss their work, give feedback and share their creative process in a flexible and relaxed environment. Descoverartists provides a host of both indoor and outdoor areas, to offer a dynamic, collaborative space that is accessible and inspiring to all. The extensiveness of the house provides the opportunity to not only allow people to share their spaces and work together, but also to allow for seclusion and meditation to maximise creativity output. Apart from accommodation, the retreats include workshops curated by experienced experts such as museum directors, successful artists, gallery owners, and other mentors that can provide valuable insights and knowledge.

Descoverartists also provides stimulating experiences that will keep the artists physically active like group exercises and nature excursions and will also give back to the community by participating in restoration and sustainability projects in the local Greek community.
