Our art residency at Eona is a highly selective program with a mission to foster innovative creativity, preserve the heritage of Chios, and expand access to the island’s unique cultural and natural environment.

The residency invites artists and creatives from around the world to live and work in the inspiring setting of Eona’s historic home, surrounded by Chios's distinctive artistic and cultural heritage. It offers time and space for creative exploration and provides an authentic island experience enriched by stunning natural landscapes and vibrant local traditions.

Residents are encouraged to use the house and the island as a canvas for their work, research, and experimentation. The program includes private bedrooms and full access to the mansion’s facilities, fostering individual creativity and communal living.

Eona also provides a unique opportunity to connect with the local community and engage with a global network of fellow artists. By bringing creatives together in a collaborative environment, we aim to cultivate a space where inspiration, experimentation, and meaningful connections thrive. Each participant becomes an integral part of a collective that enriches the residency experience and the local culture.
