Why come to Paros to learn art?

Artists have been attracted to Greece for centuries. The special quality of the light in the Aegean, the rich classical heritage, pleasant weather and inexpensive living costs are among the reasons. These elements and the warm acceptance of the inhabitants made the islands a haven for artists seeking to find the solitude and the space to connect to their creative source.

What does Paros offer now? An environment free of malls, highways and advertising; a beautiful unpolluted landscape; a simplified schedule, walkable access to most needs, easily found social life, casual atmosphere. And with nature nearby, living in a new culture allows you to depart, to learn about yourself in the reflection of others. A community of people doing creative work where you join others engaged in creative arts.

The Aegean Center is housed in a beautifully restored neoclassical building in the center of the village of Parikia, the main port town on the island of Paros, Greece. The island of Paros is rural, beautiful and very accessible by bus and by foot.
