It is not just another art, it is global art...

With great pleasure we present you a part of the important Ethnographic Center George Melikis - Mask Research Center of the journalist G. Melikis.

The International Watercolor Society (IWS) is a non-profit organization which was established in more than 100 countries all over the world with the goal to promote the world’s oldest and most deeply rooted painting technique; the art of watercolor.

The 4th Art Thessaloniki International Contemporary Art Fair (21-24/11/2019), after its establishment as an institution, will present a project on Byzantine Hagiography.
