City Museums, Cultural Bodies and Galleries
On Art Night, September 27, the city's galleries, museums and art spaces will stay up late providing the public with the opportunity to enjoy a night-time art stroll.
This is another activity, a pre-festival event for the 51st Dimitria, aiming at promoting the Thessaloniki that enjoys exploring its artistic side. Art critics, curators and artists take on the role of guides through the contemporary visual art landscape. The public will have the opportunity to learn about the exhibitions, visual art projects and installations that are housed in these spaces.
It should be noted that there will be organised tours beginning at 18:30. Interested parties can register to participate, although everyone is free to create their own tour. The organised tours will end up at the garden party at Casa Bianca, with live music by Giannis Kyratsos & Rachel Tselepidou, who will be performing covers of popular songs from Greece and abroad.
Art Night's curator is visual artist and Professor at the E.N.S.A. Limoges Fine Arts School Marios Teriade Eleftheriadis and the head of the event is museologist of the Municipal Gallery of Thessaloniki, Thalia-Maria Alexaki.
