Why This Event Matters

Art Thessaloniki International Contemporary Art Fair is a dynamic meeting point for artists from different backgrounds and disciplines. It combines cultural promotion and artistic discovery, giving both Greek and international artists a space to exhibit their work. I’m excited to have my artworks in such a venue where we can all inspire each other and showcase the depth of contemporary Greek art.

The jury includes experts who understand the challenges and potential of today’s art scene.
