After four years of continuous presence on the island of Tinos, ΚΟΙΝΩΝΩ Tinos Art Gathering invites

participants from all disciplines in the arts and sciences to apply to the thematic series ‘Four (plus

one) Elements’, which will be implemented through four distinct 15-day residency programmes

(fire, water, air, earth) until the fall of 2020 on the island of Tinos.

With reference to the diverse cultural and natural landscape of Tinos, the ‘Four (plus one) elements’

thematic series adds the element of time to earth, water, air and fire, referencing both the

alternation of the seasons and the era of human intervention on the natural landscape.

The “Four (plus one) Elements” project is supported by the Greek Ministry of Culture, the NEON

organization,in collaboration with the Athens School of FIne Arts, and under the auspice of Icomos

Hellenic. it will accommodate up to 200 guests of all disciplines in the arts and sciences, and it will be

implemented through four distinct 15-day residency programs (fire, water, air, earth) until the fall of

island of Tinos. Four Open Calls will have been made, one for each element with four distinct deadlines:
