ART - ATHINA is an annual international contemporary art fair that takes place in Athens. The first ART-ATHINA was organized in 1993, making it one of the oldest contemporary art fairs in Europe.
ART-ATHINA is organized by the Greek Hellenic Art Galleries Association (PSAT) as a way for galleries to showcase their artists and gallery owners to interact and network with each other. The 14th annual event in 2008 attracted over 18,000 visitors.[1] The 2010 exhibition involves 58 galleries from 11 countries.[2]
The fair played a decisive role in the creation of the dynamic art market in Greece[3] and each year receives warm feedback from galleries and buyers.
