THE GALLERY
Walking up at the pedestrian street,
passing by the place with ruins called "The Winds", at
the antique Roman Market in Plaka, one can meet the Tholou and
Panos Streets where are the buildings of EPASKT.
The interest for the Fine Arts of the former Minister of Culture
Melina Merkouri and the donation of the buildings to EPASKT, were
received positively by the visual artists.
The public can observe here the works exhibited by the graduates
of the Superior Fine Arts School.
The beautiful garden and the bar, create , in a simple and calm
environment, the conditions that permit the promotion of the arts
and the development of relations among its members in particular
and more generally the public.
We believe that our collaborations with all kinds of artists
cultivate the cultural relations and promote common aesthetic
targets.
Therefore in parallel to the exhibitions of painting, prints and
sculpture of the graduates, we organize conferences, theater
plays, movie projections and concerts...
