Art Athina 2025 returned to the historic Zappeion Hall from 18 to 22 September, reaffirming its position as one of the most important and long-standing contemporary art fairs in Greece and Europe. The institution was founded in 1993 by the Hellenic Art Galleries Association. art-athina.gr

This year’s edition brought together 72 galleries from Greece and abroad, showcasing a wide range of expressions—from painting and sculpture to digital art, performances, and curated discussions. athina984.gr
