Aisha sent a photo of herself totally enjoying the mediative experience of staying in the mountain hut. She normally has trouble sleeping but in the hut she was so relaxed it came without any problem.  As Aisha is a writer there are no photos of her work to capture. 

Australian visual artist Ann had been to stay at the city residency a few years ago but this time she wanted to have the village experience. She spent two weeks in the village apartment and finished with two weeks at the mountain hut. Ann said she could live in the hut forever :) Here are some photos of Ann at work in the hut. 

Yen-Cheng from Taiwan made a small art project in the kafeneon. He offered to give away free portraits to anybody who wanted one. The locals being a bit shy were hesitant to sit for one but we had enough takers to keep Yen-Cheng busy for a few hours. It was something new and fun. Many of the locals kept sending us small carafe's of raki which left us with blurry heads the next morning. 

Eleni who is a local is happy to cook lunch for artists who stay in the village apartment. She charges a small fee and normally makes so much food that the leftovers are good for dinner as well. Here she is cooking for our Taiwanese artists. Fang Yu the wife wanted to watch her cook to get some tip.  

Often the city residency artists want to come up to see the village to decide if they would like a second residency there. They always do. This time I had two Taiwanese artists and one German. The Taiwanese will return in a couple of weeks to stay in the village apartment. 

Olivia from Singapore came to stay in the village apartment for three weeks this March. With her was Kinjal Johri a screen writer. While Kinjal spent her time writing in the apartment or at Oscar kafeneon down the hill, Olivia painstakingly painted this lovely mural. After a week in the village their main impression was how lovely and giving the locals are. The mural is a reflection of their hospitality. It is painted across from the Historical Museum. 

Not every artist leaves a mural. Claus came to paint the landscape. Here are some photos of the day we went to see him which ended up at the kafeneon for one too many rakis.
