Gazarte

<h3>Gazarte Cultural Hub Athens</h3>
Gazarte living room is a large area of libraries full of books and special publications on architecture, theatre, cinema, poetry, stage design and more. The patrons can sit comfortably on the cosy, warm-coloured couches and enjoy their drinks to the accompaniment of delicious finger food.

The warm, soft lighting of the lampshades and the beautiful classical carpets, combined with the wood that dominates all over the place, offer the sensation of a cosy atmosphere.
Moreover, Gazarte’s renovated bar offers its customers a variety of brand-new cocktails with fresh fruits and exotic spices. It is truly a pleasure to be with your friends in a cool shelter downtown, enjoying refreshing cocktails and delicious finger food.

An essential aspect of that unique <strong>terrace</strong> atmosphere is the careful selection of music played by the following radio producers: Kotseta Yota, Adam Petro and Tsitomenea Saki.

Gazarte also provides one of the most interesting terraces in Athens. At the centre of Gazi, only a breath away from Kerameikos metro station, our green, new terrace dominates among the industrial buildings of Technopolis Park.
Olive trees, pomegranate trees, tangerine trees and flower pots of lavender, mint and basil not only emerge their sweet scent but also offer a fresh cool breeze to our customers during hot summer nights.

On Gazarte’s second floor, one can find a sizeable unified hall of alternative aesthetics, ideal for conferences, company presentations and cultural events. Through its extended partitions of glass that circulate the entire place, the view of the Acropolis, the National Observatory and Lycabettus is more than fluid.

Heavy curtains obfuscate the hall when needed, as on unique video projections during daylight. However, with its walls decorated with visual constructions created especially for Gazarte by the sculptor Costis Papadopoulos, the whole area exudes a unique cultural atmosphere. The wooden floor, the impromptu bar with the vinyl records, the vast sofas, and the smooth, theatrical lighting combined with complete audiovisual coverage have all led to numerous companies’ profile presentations, conferences and workshops as this alternative space are ideal for such events.

Eugenides Foundation

The foundation’s activity, by its articles of association, is to contribute to the scientific and technological education of young people in Greece.

Every year, Greek and international scientific and professional conferences and events of high standards are hosted in the well-equipped premises of the Eugenides Foundation, attracting essential personalities of the Greek and international intellectual, cultural and scientific community.

Theocharakis Foundation

<h3>The Theocharakis Foundation</h3>
The <strong>Basil and Marina Theocharakis Foundation</strong> is opposite the Hellenic Parliament, in Athens’s cultural, political and commercial heart. The Foundation’s premises on the corner of Merlin and Vassilissis Sofias streets were designed by Vassilis Tsagris during the last years of the 1920s; built in the eclectic style of the inter-war period, the building—which was listed in 1985–borrows freely from many European styles. Having served a variety of functions down the years, the <strong>B &amp; M Theocharakis Foundation acquired the premises in 2005</strong>.

The building’s exterior was renovated in line with plans drawn up by Dimitris Agiostratitis, while the Foundation’s interior was reorganized by the architectural firm P. Tzonos-G. Heupel ensured that the resultant spaces provided all the facilities required by a contemporary cultural centre: galleries for temporary and permanent exhibitions, an auditorium for musical events, lectures and conferences, an Art Shop, a Café and a data access area. The architectural design was informed by a desire to achieve maximum functionality coupled with a high-quality aesthetic and recognizable personality. In addition, the Foundation has ensured full access for people with disabilities.

Vorres Museum

<h3>The Vorres Museum</h3>
The <strong>Vorres Museum</strong> is the vision of Ian Vorres. The museum, dedicated to contemporary Greek and folk art, is, by a 1983 presidential decree, a non for profit foundation and a private law legal entity. It aims to promote and disseminate Greek civilization through the creation of infrastructures and permanent collections, the presentation of exhibitions, the implementation of educational programs, the design of publications, and the organization of events, happenings, speeches, etc.

The Vorres Museum is located in Paiania, covering about 3 acres. It is housed in a complex of 4,500 square meters, surrounded by extensive courtyards and gardens. It is supervised by a ten-member Board of Trustees, which decides on the operation, strategic planning, management and allocation of its funds and is responsible for fulfilling the Foundation’s aims.

Six d.o.g.s.

<h3>Six dogs</h3>
Six dogs is an all-day/all-night cultural entertainment centre at the heart of Athens’ Historical Center (Monastiraki), which organically combines each one of its elements: a <strong>Gig Space</strong>, a <strong>Project Space</strong>, a <strong>Bar</strong>, a <strong>Foyer</strong>, and a <strong>Garden</strong>. It’s not introduced as a new space but as a new model for a room. It is suggested as a space which aims at constantly creating and maintaining a high-profile dynamic nucleus of cross-genre activities in a part of the city, which is natural to happen, aiming at being both avant-garde and pop.

Having a realistic average of hosting 500+ events each year, the space keeps up a hyperactive profile that is never indifferent. It is <strong>open from 10 in the morning till late in the night daily</strong>, serving a wide range of local goodies, unique cocktails, and homemade delights, all in a price-friendly package. One of the most dynamic Athens-based architectural offices, Point Supreme Architects, has re-designed the whole space.

<strong>The Foyer
</strong>The Foyer is a bright and relaxing space for the get-together, which functions as a sub-space for its neighbouring Gig Space since it has a wide opening connecting the two, thus serving as an in-between space, as well as an individual Bar/Café, depending on the occasion.

<strong>The Gig Space
</strong>The Gig Space is probably the nucleus of the complex: a flexible and neutral studio space that is configured for anything from live gigs, theatrical performances, parties, and screenings, to educational programs, workshops, seminars and lectures, both by young Greek artists and acts from abroad, constantly emerging, always fresh. With an emphasis on music, equally thrown upon live or DJ gigs, the space’s sound system is active almost on a year-round basis, offering an ideal experience of a solid and complete gig.

<strong>The Garden</strong>
Four months of daily hard work, 15 tones of 60-year-old trash, hundreds of meters of cable, tens of kilos of Swedish plywood, loads of river sand, a lot of feel-good workers, and most of all, respect for the natural surroundings that were yet to be uncovered underneath the muddy layers, and the back Garden opened its doors to the general public at the end of August 2010. The Garden is open from 10 in the morning, daily, till late at night, offering comfy custom wooden seating, handmade hammocks, Free Wi-Fi, many plugs around the trees (!) for laptops, shavers, etc., and many more.

The <strong>menu</strong> focuses on seasonal products and local groceries, serving Ice Teas, a large variety of Cocktails, homemade Deserts, Draught Beers, Bagels, Soups, six HOT d.o.g.s (of course!), a wide range of warm liquors, specially blended flavoured-infused Vodkas (Vanilla, Fig, Ginger, etc.). The Garden functions in an almost-silent bar way, handling the weight of the attention to the people and the surrounding natural space.
