After a successful 18th edition, which was enthusiastically received by some 30,000 visitors Art-Athina, the International Contemporary Art Fair of Athens is back with its 19th edition that will take place on May 15-18.

Launched in 1993 by the Hellenic Art Galleries Association, Art-Athina stands today as one of the longest lasting contemporary art fairs in Europe and as the largest annual visual arts event in Greece. A meeting point for international artistic creation, Art-Athina brings together significant Greek and foreign art galleries, cultural institutions, curators, collectors, art critics and art lovers.

In light of the Greek EU Presidency, the main programme of Art-Athina 2014 will focus on the key geographical position of Greece, located at the crossroads of Europe, the Balkans, the Black Sea and the Middle East. Further, the programme includes many parallel events such as round-table discussions, presentations and exhibitions by both young and established artists.
