bEam arts International Residencies

Thessaloniki, Greece

bEam arts is an artist residency in Thessaloniki, Greece. bEam arts is an independent, artist-led organisation dedicated to supporting artists across the visual arts, design, film, literature, and curatorial practices. Through different programs, including residencies, exhibitions, research initiatives, and community-focused events.​​

Our international artist residency is designed to give creators the time, resources, and community needed to deeply engage with their practice. We provide selected residents with well equipped studios, tailored mentorship, and the opportunity to showcase their work in a culminating group exhibition. Beyond our physical facilities, bEam arts is a growing, global peer community, a place where artists are encouraged to draw inspiration from our local environment and from one another.
