Saint Andrew’s Castle

In the framework of our Artists in Residence programme, which has been held annually at St. Andrew’s Castle since 2015, painters and space artists are guests of the castle for a whole month, where we provide not only a space for relaxed artistic work but also accommodation and meals for the participant(s).
Inspired by the artwork here, we have given the programme a title, which has remained the same since 2019: The Space of Change
The programme starts each year on the day of the St George’s Day picnic (the Saturday closest to 24 April) and after a month, on the last weekend of May, we organise an exhibition of their work, opened by a well-known art historian.

Description de l’environnement géographique : In the middle of a 7.5-hectare English park, surrounded by forests, lakes and streams, and ancient tree giants, there is a two-story classicist castle. Those who visit here can admire the old chapel and enjoy the comfort of guest houses and wellness facilities that meet the needs of our time. Those who want to change, gather here to get new inspiration, as well as artists who want to create quietly, or those searching for the village and traditions of the Celts who lived in The Place for thousands of years. This is the space of change, but this change does not destroy the old, but preserves the values ​​and adds to them. Center, in the most abstract and at the same time most literal sense of the word, as it always has been. It also gives the visitor the opportunity for a short time to take part in the ranks of the people who live here and the "owners" of the Place, in quotation marks, because we don't actually own such a Place, but live it, receive, give, take part in it and from it.

    Tzermiado Art Project
    Nature - Tzermiado (Grèce) - 25/01/2023

    Greetings, This is a brand new project as of January 2023 We are currently Carsten (36 years old, USA/Germany) and Franciska (23 years old, Hungary) working here on a new farm, "Tzermiado Art Project" in an ideal and beautiful mountain settting (Lasithi Plateau, Crete). The idea is to blend artistic creation [painting, short story writing, music] with life on a farm [cultivation of herbs and vegetables, animal care] On the two plots of land (back garden, apple tree grove), the plan is to cultivate a wide range of vegetables and herbs, host in tents, have yoga sessions, paint, and take care of animals We are cultivating some medicinal and culinary herbs indoors and plan to cultivate a full-fledged medicinal herb garden in the Spring I'd very much like the place to be a center of learning, art, and exploration. I am interested in providing a place for holistic living, nutrition, meditation, yoga, making music, and being close to nature [and enjoy the local wine]. There are excellent mountains surrounding the plateau in a circle, with sites such as the cave of Zeus where in Greek Mythology he is said to have been born. Everyday we are here we can't get over how beautiful and magical the place is. The house has a fireplace. a wood-burning stove that has an oven in it, and a solar water heater. The neighbors all have chickens and goats and I would like to build some animal infrastructure to do the same, and grow a vegetable garden. The locals say it is extremely easy to grow organic vegetables, as the land is very fertile and no use of pesticides is required. I would like to adopt some cats and dogs from the animal shelter and care for them, practice canning harvested foods, and learn about artisanal crafts such as basket weaving and pottery with my guests by teaming up with the nearby ecovillage. I'd also like to create a campground to host some extra tents in the summer, and on the second plot of land, it is easy to open up the gates and host a few camping cars as well. so lots of dyi projects on hand so we can be a real community by summer Tzermiado is the capital village of the Lasithi plateau. It has quite a few restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, a post office, a hair salon, etc. It is 30 minutes from the beaches in Malia. I have a car and could pick up volunteers from the airport. I am an amateur writer especially interested in the short story genre. My favorite authors are Samantha Schweblin and Hebe Uhart, Borges, Onetti, Cortazar (in love with Argentinian opus). I write mainly in Spanish but also in English and French. I have a BA in French lit with a minor in Spanish, MA in English Studies, have an extensive knowledge of short story writing theory. I would love to welcome volunteers to do creative works, learn new things, and have an amazing experience in Crete blending art, languages, and agriculture. I speak intermediate Greek, love this country, and would love to share knowledge and exchange and be inspired! instagram; tzermiado_art_project
