Welcome to the Milos Art Residency — a creative sanctuary for women.

Milos is a volcanic island with a pulse of its own. Named the World’s Best Island and the Greek Island of the Summer, it’s a landscape that reveals its beauty slowly: turquoise coves, lunar rock formations, villages carved from stone.

This is the island where the Venus de Milo was found — an ancient reminder that art, beauty, and the feminine have always lived here.

Come rest. Come create. Come meet the part of you that emerges only on an island like this.

  • We do not currently accommodate for this.

  • Artists are responsible for their own supplies. There is a basic art supply store on the island but it is minimal. The suggestion is to pick up materials at art supplies stores in Athens. 

  • No you do not, there are walkable beaches and a grocery store a 10 minute walk from the property. If you do want to easily get around the island, you can rent a car or scooter in Athens and bring it on the ferry to Milos.

  • You can fly to the Milos airport or take the Minoan ferry from Pireaus Greece near Athens (before May, this ferry leaves at 9PM in Piraeus and arrives at 1:30AM at Milos) - after May there are more frequent ferries. 

  • Your travel plans to and from the Art Residency are your responsibility and you are liable for any changes. Our suggestion is to buy travel insurance in advance from Faye. Many travel insurance companies also cover health related expenses. Please note there will be no refunds if the Artist experiences travel interruptions.
