Following the widely acclaimed success of the 15th edition of ART-ATHINA last May, the International Contemporary Art Fair of Athens is back with its 16th edition which will take place on 13 - 16 May 2010. Despite the big internatio nal financial crisis, 58 galleries form 11 countries (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, The Netherlands, Turkey, USA) will participate this year as well, showcasing the work of more than 300 artists. Among the Greek and foreign galleries, a lot have participated many times in the fair and others will be hosted for the first time, a fact that underlines the international profile of ART-ATHINA. The fair also presents 42 institutions related to contemporary art (museums, foundations, art publishers and media). ART-ATHINA 2010 will once more be hosted at the Faliro Pavilion (TaeKwonDo), which was transformed last year into a sparkling islet of art for four days leaving all visitors and participants with the best impressions. What you probably don’t know is that this year artAZ is participating at the Fair, in the Cultural Institutions section. What do we have in store for you? For now it is a closely guarded secret that we are not at liberty to reveal. We’ll let you in on it VERY soon – it is a promise. Come back in time to be the first to know or come back later for the full review!

This year's 7ply Project was super once again! Positive energy, young people on skateboards, music and many many art boards! For more photos from the festival, take a look at my EyeCandies Blog ! An art event for the homeless of Athens
300 works of art are waiting for you to discover their creator’s identity! You were introduced to it, you loved it and you supported it. Now SURPRISE! returns bigger and stronger. After its extremely successful debut last February the art event for the homeless of Athens is back on, with more artists, more works and a bigger desire to offer. I'm very happy to be a part of this great initiative with one of my pieces! artAZ, in association with the City of Athens Homeless Center (KYADA) and the support of City of Athens Technopolis, invites 300 contemporary artists to express themselves and contribute to a giant feast of love and offering. Contributing artists will especially create for SURPRISE a work of art each. The works are the same size and have the same price tag. What is the surprise? They are all signed at the back so the artist’s identity remains hidden until after you have bought the work! The exhibition starts online here at artAZ, January 7. We will be adding new works daily, to February 18, 2010. Between 19-21 February the exhibition will move to City of Athens Technopolis in order for you to see the works live and for the sale to take place. Proceeds from the sale will be donated to KYADA for the support of its work. We look forward to welcoming you, January 7 onwards, to SURPRISE together! This December, the Meet Market celebrates the holidays, and its 2-year anniversary in a bombastic-bazaar-bonanza!! Come find plenty of gifts for you and your loved ones, ranging from clothes, accessories, records, vintage finds, books, art, toys, photography, objects, christmas decorations, tasty treats, biological bath & body products, interactive games, free prizes and a whole lot more.
