A transformative educational and artistic residency program set at Eona on Chios island, Greece.

This highly selective program combines the Descover: Academy’s career-focused mission with the immersive experience of living and working in Chios’ unique cultural setting.

The goal of this experience is to foster creative exploration, collaboration, and cultural exchange.

This program is centered on developing a capstone project chosen by each artists. Each participant shall select a final project that could be writing or producing a music album, designing a fashion collection, creating original artwork, writing a book, conducting research, or anything else on which the artist would like to focus their time and resources. The module monitors the topics chosen by the students and the development of their research and contributes with instructions and suggestions to their finalisation. Students can systematically present new information and the work progress where everyone participates with comments and interventions. 

The program supports artists and creatives by providing:

• Guidance and tools.

• Opportunities to record, preserve, and contribute to the cultural heritage of Chios island.

• A platform for experimentation and collaboration across disciplines, all in the inspiring setting of an 20th-century mansion.

• Descoverartists network.

The program runs as a year-long hybrid residency.
