Eternal Echoes Modern Presence
Invites artists to delve into the rich tapestry of Greek history, culture, and mythology, weaving threads of the ancient past into the fabric of contemporary existence. Through this exhibition, we seek to evoke a sense of continuity, bridging the gap between antiquity and the present, where the legacy of Greece continues to resonate profoundly.
From the towering figures of Greek mythology to the enduring symbols of democracy and philosophy, "Eternal Echoes" invites viewers on a journey through time and space, where the echoes of the past reverberate with timeless relevance. Through the lens of art, we aim to inspire contemplation, dialogue, and a deeper appreciation for the enduring heritage of Greek culture in our modern world.
It’s important to remember that Greece is not just a tourist destination and definitely more than just a Greek summer experience.
Artists are encouraged to explore how the essence of Greece permeates modern life, shaping perspectives, influencing creativity, and igniting innovation. Whether through symbolism, imagery, or narrative, artworks should evoke a profound sense of connection to Greek heritage while reflecting the diverse expressions of contemporary experience.

The Art Fair Committee in par with The Chian Federation retains the right to refuse any artwork that is deemed unacceptable upon viewing in person.

Glass, if used, should be clean. All artworks must be ready to hang or display, using D-rings and wire rather than sawtooth picture hangers. Please note that a piece may be declined if we determine we cannot display it in a manner that we deem safe for both the piece and the viewers.
