We are so grateful to all the artists and friends who participated in the celebrations and who have made AARK a reality for a decade. As a testament to those celebrations, you can find a compilation of them on this page.
In 2026 and beyond, we will continue working tirelessly to promote our residency and bring artists from around the world to experience the unique atmosphere of this small island. Applications are open at any time through this form. Welcome!

Subtitled "Spaces of Dialogue Between Art and Nature," it was an exhibition and series of discussion events that brought together the work of several national and international artists who have been residents over the years.
