Part of every enrollment funds the scholarships at Milos Art Residency.
The VisionWomen are being called to architect a new world — this requires an ecological approach. I’m teaching women how to build their own residencies, tap into female artist community, and join a global network of female-led residencies. Residencies are the nodes. Community is the web.
Who This is For

You already own a property abroad and want to turn it into a women's art residency.
You’re finding the space
You're actively searching for a property with this exact intention and want to build the model first.
You’re not sure yet
You have a space at home and want to understand the residency model before committing to anything abroad.
