Walking Backwards - exhibition opportunity in Athens

Snehta (Athens in reverse)

Snehta’s mission is to actively strengthen the artistic production and revitalize the local scene by bridging Athens with international creatives that share a focused enthusiasm to research in the city. Moreover partnering artists, curators and projects undertaken by Snehta aim to creating new readings under which the city is perceived and experienced.

OPEN CALL FOR OUR FESTIVAL 2021

Our Festival was created by the collective cultural group “WE”, which grew out of a lively and dynamic community of artists who have presented their work at the festival and each year organize the event.

The group’s shared vision is to bring together a variety of artists from different backgrounds and from these creative and collaborative encounters, to forge long-lasting cross-cultural relationships.

Our Festival works with liminal to make all events accessible and collaborates with disabled artists in order to promote inclusion and ensure the equal participation of all to the cultural life of the community. 

Athens Art Fund - Siilk Residency

About the fund:

Siilk Gallery's AAF (Athens art fund) is a residency program set up by Siilk Gallery. The aim is to crowd fund the residency so artists can travel, stay and create new bodies of work in Athens, Greece.

With peer to peer crowd funding it means we can give artists full creative control over the works they do during their stay, so they can produce works that are meaningful to themselves.

The artists will have a studio apartment in the same building as the main gallery. Access to a photography studio, printing capabilities and guidance throughout their stay.

Open Call to Station One Artists-in-Residence 2021

Victoria Square Project (VSP) in collaboration with Counterpoints Arts and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Public Humanities Initiative (SNFPHI) at Columbia University, launches the first call of Station One AIR, a year-long residency program for emerging artists to reimagine Greek identity. The selected artists, four from Greece and four from countries with significant migrant and refugee communities in Victoria Square, will work in teams of four, for three months, under the mentorship of Columbia University faculty, collaborating artists and curators, and VSP’s team to engage in a series of “contextualizations” of Johannes Pfuhl’s sculpture in Victoria Square, Athens.
