Study Art Abroad in Greece

The Aegean Center for the Fine Arts:
Study art abroad in Greece. The Aegean Center for the Fine Arts in Paros, Greece, is an independent institution offering semester-long and full year study abroad courses in photography, painting, art history, printmaking, singing, literature and creative writing to university students in the United States, Canada, Europe and Worldwide. Courses are offered in two semester-long sessions (Spring & Fall) per year.

Each student is responsible for arranging academic credit with her or his college or university prior to their attending the Aegean Center program. To facilitate the transfer of credits the Aegean Center has also entered into a formal association with a school Chester College of New England in the U.S. Any student attending a U.S. college or university that does not have a mechanism by which to process credits from an independent foreign program may register with our partner program through which you will receive and transfer credits.

Student Accommodation:
On Paros students stay in the Aegean Center's single studio apartments (one student to an apartment) with private bathroom and small kitchen. Sheets, towels and basic kitchen gear are supplied. We believe it is important for students to have their own apartments in Greece and this is why we have been providing single accommodations since 1966. Double apartments can be arranged. Our apartments are a short walk from the Center.

Location:
Paros is situated in the Cycladic group of islands, 100 miles southeast of Athens. Partly because of its famous marble, Paros has been an important part of civilization since 5,000 BC. In the village of Parikia, where the school is located, houses and churches gleam brilliant white and the waterfront is lined with cafes and restaurants that look out across the bay toward the sunset. The Center's restored Neo-classical facility is located in the heart of Parikia on the old market street leading to the famed Byzantine Church of a Hundred Doors. Our student apartments are a three minute walk from the Center off the very same market street. Parikía harbour is a major hub for Aegean islands ferries and catamarans, with several sailings each day for Piraeus, the port of Athens, Heraklion, the capital of Crete, and other islands such as Naxos, Ios, Santorini, and Mykonos.
