Kimonos Art Center has been active in the field of fine arts since 2015 and has already presented a rich body of work, making use of many means of creative expression and going through all the stages of artistic work. “Episkeptes", a residency program that welcomes artists from around the world to meet and interact, research and create new works in the unique spaces of the Center. The Center will accommodate in its spaces two international artists of any visual discipline (sculptors, painters, photographers, installation artists, printmakers, video, and multimedia artists) for one month. After the first 3 weeks of the residency, the Center will organize and curate, in collaboration with the participating artists, a presentation of the outcome in a local art space. The quality of artistic creation is one of the major concerns addressed by the program.
MeMeraki Artist Residency is a non-profit organisation based in Limassol. It was founded by Katerina Savvides in 2019, from the need to exist in a multicultural and multidisciplinary artistic community, within which artists can find ongoing stimulation based on feedback exchange and critiques. Aiming to minimise the gap between the public and the local artistic community, MeMeraki’s main Residency Program hosts local and international artists, providing for three 2-3 month Residency Periods in the course of a running year. During their stay, the residents are expected to give talks on their creative process and engage in critique and discussions. Participate in Open Studios and an Exhibition. During each given Residency Period, we host various other side events, in order to create opportunities to meet the Artists-in-Residence, which are announced accordingly.
Boubouki is located in Mesana Village of Paphos district, and right in the centre of one of the most beautiful, natural areas of the island. The residency programme has no restrictions regarding the theme of the writer’s work (starting or in progress), although the produced work is encouraged to have certain influences by the landscape and identity of Cyprus. Residencies at Boubouki can last from 1 week to 6 weeks (or for shorter periods in some cases) and can take place in either November or February (or depending on the cottage’s availability during the whole year). Boubouki can only accept 4 writers/artists per year (1-2 writers/artists at a time). Writers/artists, once accepted and officially invited to Boubouki, are advised to apply for funding from other sources (cultural organizations, Ministries, Embassies etc.).
