Amalia Gardens is a non-profit cultural organisation based in Vitali, Andros, Greece. It runs an artist residency and exhibitions that bring contemporary visual artists into dialogue with the island's landscape, heritage and traditions, offering artists time and space to create. The organisation also cultivates a property with restored farm buildings, vineyards, a seasonal vegetable garden and an olive grove, and works with local farmers. It was founded by architects Charis Savvides and Penny Valsamidou and takes its name from Amalia Athanasiou, the last resident of the abandoned settlement of Kalokairini, with the aim of reviving it as a creative hub. Exhibitions are free and open to the public.
