Art, Design & Coastal Life in Kavala, Greece — Find Your Muse by the Aegean

The space

Make room for new work, new encounters and a different rhythm by the Aegean. The MANTILITY & EPÀRCHÎA Artist Residency brings together artistic practice, contemporary design and the everyday life of Kavala, northern Greece. The experience connects three complementary settings: MANTILITY Studio, EPÀRCHÎA Design Boîte and Tourloo Guesthouse. MANTILITY Studio introduces residents to the creative world of MANTILITY – The Silk Scarf Gallery, where collaborations with more than 50 artists have brought original artworks to life on Greek silk. It offers a context for exchanging ideas about image, colour, storytelling and the relationship between art and everyday objects. EPÀRCHÎA Design Boîte, opposite the historic Kamares aqueduct, combines an exhibition space, a Greek design shop and a café-bar. Here, residents can encounter exhibitions, meet people from the city and become part of an active cultural setting. Accommodation is at Tourloo Guesthouse. Living and creative activities take place across these separate locations, allowing residents to experience Kavala through its streets, neighbourhoods and daily encounters. Workspace arrangements and any presentation requirements are discussed before arrival, according to each artist’s practice and project.
