Gallery Night

Gallery season—if there is such a thing—is officially upon Athens. Dozens of major and alternative art spaces in the city have announced their shows for the season; from distinctive jewellery to serene seascapes to dramatic portraits, gallery hopping in Athens this autumn is all the rage. But the most important date to mark on your calendar is October 4, when the annual Gallery Night will take place. More than 20 art galleries and museums around the city will remain open until midnight hosting concerts, performances and games. This year's activities are dedicated to those over 55, claiming that "culture has no age". Obviously, the younger crowd is more than welcome.

Some of the galleries participating: Rebecca Camhi, Peri Technon Karteris, Ersi Gallery, Zoumboulakis, Citronne, Ikastikos Kiklos, Ekfrasi Art, Ileana Tounta, a.antonopoulou.art, Allouche Benias, Alma Gallery, CAN Gallery, Crux Gallery, Genesis Gallery, Nitra Gallery, Skoufa Gallery.

Come get your dose of culture.
