The 13 th ART ATHINA –international contemporary art fair- will take place in May 2007.

The newly appointed board of directors of the Hellenic Art Galleries Association –which was elected in summer 2005- assigned to W-ART of Michalis Argyrou the Direction and to ArtBOX.gr of Christos Savidis the Artistic Direction of Art Athina and all the parallel events until 2009. Pro4 of Mr. Manolis Sardis, has undertaken the production of the events.

The goal of the organizers and the Hellenic Art Galleries Association is the upgrading and improvement of the institution, which plays an important role to the artistic scene of Greece. These changes concern not only the quality of organising, but also purely practical aspects of services and communication which will enhance the emergence of a dynamic, qualitative art fair and will create special interests for galleries and collectors in Greece and abroad, and also for the wider public.

The objective of the new administration is focused on the ambition that ART ATHINA as an institution will have a vigorous presence throughout the year by organising events that will enrich the institution itself. Thus, it was considered necessary to postpone the 2006 event, so that Art Athina 2007 can have the time-span that from this day forward every Art Athina fair will have, a complete year. The new web site designed by the organisers – www.art-athina.gr, www.art-athina.com- will offer a vast variety of information to the public interested in Art Athina and the further events of the institution.
