Eligibility:

The Mudhouse is an artist residency located in the village of Agios Ioannis on the Island of Crete, Greece. The Mudhouse Residency aims to provide artists inspiration derived from an engagement with the stunning natural beauty of its environment, solitude to foster creative growth, an artistic community to enrich professional practices, and an immersive cultural experience within a profoundly rich historical context.

Started in 2015, the Mudhouse offers its two-week residency sessions each summer for international contemporary artists working across a manifold of artistic disciplines, from paint, to ceramics, to experimental film. We welcome visual artists, writers, musicians and performers. Hosting an incredibly diverse, multicultural, multi-generational cohort of artists in each residency session, the Mudhouse encourages dialogues across traditional boundaries. Artists are invited to present a slideshow, lecture or reading on their work for fellow residents, as well as participate in a closing exhibition at the Residency’s conclusion that will be installed jointly in the ruins around the village and the exhibition space. The artists’ time is their own, to focus on their art practice and explore the rich history of southern Crete and the Minoan civilization.

The Mudhouse Residency provides accommodations, studio space, and two meals each day for the two week duration of the residency, in the village of Agios Ioannis, on the Greek island of Crete.

As an artist founded and operated residency, the Mudhouse’s ethos continues to be to provide an increasingly diverse group of artists an affordable, international residency experience. Determined by a selection committee, Full Fellowship Awards are based on the merit of the applicants work while Partial Fellowships are need based.

 

The Full Fellowship Award for 2026 includes accommodations, studio space and two meals each day for the two week duration of the residency at no cost to the artist. The artist is responsible for their own travel to the residency, and for any groceries, art supplies or excursions outside of the village. The Mudhouse Residency sponsors two Full Fellowships for the 2026 season. The Full fellowship is determined by a selection committee based on the merit of the applicant’s work.

Artists are welcome to apply to both the Full Fellowship Award and the General Application. The Full Fellowship Award is very competitive, in both 2024 and 2025 it received over 200 applications each year. Artists who apply for the Full Fellowship award will not be automatically considered for the General application.

 

Fellowship applications are due January 1, 2026
