Return2Ithaca (R2I)

Return2Ithaca is an international Artist in Residency Program in Ithaca that results in the production of original work regarding the island and its history. The aim of the program is to create an institution where international artists will meet, work on an idea aiming to an artistic production. At the same time they will have the opportunity to meet with internationally renowned curators with whom they will exchange views on improvement and completion of their work.

Ithaca was chosen to be the place for the development and consolidation of an institution of artistic production in the field of Visual Arts and Photography. A meeting point where international Artists and Curators meet, get inspired by the meanings of Odyssey, produce contemporary art and exhibit their work.

Ithaca, for Homer and the "Odyssey", symbolises the Return; the desired destination.
