IN THEIR WORDS
From ARCAthens Fellows after completing the program:
“ The two months of the NOLA/NYC Research Fellowship were filled with images, sounds, smells, tastes and stories, conversations and voices, exceptional experiences, and warm encounters, which undoubtedly will transform into knowledge and relationships that will accompany us for a long time.
As a curator, I had the chance to delve into two unique and completely different art scenes and go through the interesting exercise of trying to make sense of them separately but also together. For all that, I have ARCAthens to thank.”
“My residency with ARCAthens was filled with art, inspiring personal encounters, and discoveries about the evolution of life on the other side of the planet.
New Orleans has undoubtedly been an invaluable destination in my two-month stay in the US, where I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the local community, make new friends and discover a brilliant and unique cultural world.
My experience in New York, centering the Bronx, intertwined with my European and Greek identity in ways whose profound impact I’m still processing with great excitement.”
“The NOLA/NYC research fellowship has been one of the most generous programs that I had the good fortune of being a part of and truly a testament to ARCAthens’ focus on its foundational goal of creating and sustaining meaningful connections in the art world and expanding.”
“I will always cherish my time with ARCAthens and its family, and I am grateful for the support it offered me, amidst a challenging period for artworkers in Greece, in creating new bonds and memories with brilliant people, diverse communities and magnificent places, and providing me with tools that I will continue to use in the future through my curatorial practice.”
