REON Artist Residency

REON is a newly founded independent space focused on clay, and slowly unfolding. Located in the mountainous village Porta, on the island of Corfu, REON wishes to offer an inclusive, open-ended working environment. REON’s Artist Residency is suitable for self-sufficient individuals looking for time and space, and find somehow meaningful the condition to exist within the reality of the rural greek landscape for a while. We are keen to welcome professionals such as artists, researchers, designers, architects and other practitioners, working with different facets of clay. Recently graduated individuals are also welcome to apply.

For the year 2025, we are also broadening our scope with the Art Educator Residency, wishing to create a fresh and intimate experience of contemporary art for the local children with the help of a dedicated professional who will bring their own methods and expertise in Porta village or even develop new ones.There is a possibility for an artist-in residence to do a Combined Residency, dedicating a part of their residency to create a project with the children of the village, or offering them workshops sharing their world with them.
