In the last two decades but especially in the period following the Greek financial crisis and then the COVID-19 pandemic, Athens has kept witnessing surges in art spaces.

These range from prominent international galleries collaborating with local counterparts to self-managed venues, artist spaces, and urban galleries.

The Greek capital has made a remarkable entry onto the global art scene.

What began with the major international exhibition of Contemporary Art Documenta in 2017 has now blossomed into a vibrant art landscape, teeming with possibilities.

The city exudes a magnetic charm, attracting artists and creative minds, with annual events like  Art Athina, which bring galleries big and small into a shared exhibition space, and events that draw an increasingly wide public.
