-ismos

<h3>-Ismos Gallery</h3>
In a quaint and sophisticated building of “Old Athens”, located in a popular place of interest with high visibility, on the corner of bustling street Triptolemou with the most “quiet” street Eupatridon, is the new Art-Gallery, -ismos.

A cluster of two high-ceilinged spaces (space Alpha &amp; Beta), connected with an inner courtyard, constitute the premises of -ismos.   Each room is available for rent both independently and as a whole.

The concept behind the design of -ismos’ premises was to support the best way to host various artistic and non-artistic events.  Both spaces (50 m² each) are independently fully designed and feature permanent equipment.

Space Alpha, the more modern and independent one, is technologically equipped to provide all necessary digital presentation systems.  Space Beta – characterized as a more ‘traditional’ and social area, consists of three white, empty rooms with professional lighting that can cover any basic need of an art exhibition.

The inner courtyard (70 m²), connecting the two spaces, is the perfect outdoor environment for a pleasant “break” for small discussions, smoking, etc., that can also be available for rent according to each event’s needs.  Its design with plants, tables and chairs, special constructions and books, with a background of soft music, creates an elegant environment of modern aesthetics in a harmonious “rapprochement” of the old internal Athenian courtyard!

More specifically -ismos can host events as follows:
<h3>Space Alpha</h3>
screenings – up to 40 persons
presentations – up to 40 persons
seminars – up to 40 persons / with the use of desks up to 20 persons
workshops – up to 40 persons / with the help of desks up to 20 persons
theme parties – up to 100 persons with the use of the courtyard
<h3>Space Beta</h3>
art exhibitions, seminars – up to 40 persons / with the use of desks up to 20 persons
theme parties – up to 100 persons with the use of the courtyard
-ismos as a whole (spaces Alpha + Beta and the inner courtyard) can host events of up to 200 people, while the above list is indicative and not restrictive, as there could be special agreements upon which the use of the courtyard is available, the spaces could be reformed appropriately etc

At -ismos’ premises is permanently stored available equipment to meet the immediate basic needs of hosted events.  From desks to Swedish design furniture, flip charts, special levels for different surfaces, and additional technical equipment to further support presentations. -ismos can offer tailor-made solutions for every occasion.

By choosing -ismos, you select an affordable, complete proposal of rare aesthetics, which offers the uniqueness of a taste of old Athens!

Michael Cacoyannis Foundation

<h3>Michael Cacoyannis Foundation</h3>
MCF Michael Cacoyannis Foundation ‘s brand new, purpose-built Cultural Centre is at 206 Piraeus Street, at the heart of what is becoming the unique cultural and intellectual centre of Athens.

Its construction was supported by “Culture”, the European Programme co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and the European Union. Building work began in January 2007 and was completed in 2008.

The Blender Gallery

The Blender Gallery

The Blender Gallery exhibition space is distinguished for its minimal design. While the 8-meter bar – reception communicating with the bright atrium – an oasis of the gallery enhances the feeling that this is a contemporary yet welcoming space. The space covers 325 sm. However, for smaller events, we can adjust the room through movable wall.

The space fits 150-200 people seated or 500 people standing. The bright and contemporary space of the gallery meets all the requirements for the realisation of corporate events, product launches, educational seminars, and presentations. Basic equipment for speaker events, corporate meetings, and press conferences is available.

The venue is also ideal for private events, cocktail parties, formal dinners, and receptions. Each event hosted under the roof of Blender is unique. As the space is constantly “re-decorated” due to the monthly change of the art exhibition presented. Become the hosts of an event, the guests of which will have the opportunity to view a unique art exhibition! The Blender team is at your disposal for any questions you may have on availability, services, and space equipment.

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.

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.

Booze Cooperativa

<h3>Booze Cooperativa</h3>
Booze Cooperativa was once known as the most innovative bar in Athens back in 1989. Today, its activities have expanded to include a well-organized <strong>canteen</strong>, <strong>exhibition spaces</strong>, and a <strong>theatre stage</strong> for visitors to enjoy.

In October 2010, Booze Cooperativa grew its premises by adding 5,000 square meters to its existing property. The new building block located beside the historic property at 57 Kolokotroni has become part of the multipurpose space, offering new <strong>meeting places</strong> for Athenian locals and a creative <strong>hub for artists</strong>.

The extension features a <strong>large stoa</strong>, <strong>two additional bars</strong>, a <strong>gallery</strong>, a designated area for <strong>book launches</strong> (Etage Litteraire), a <strong>seminar area</strong>, a <strong>restaurant</strong> (currently under construction), and many more places that will be gradually utilized to contribute to cultural and other events.

Booze Cooperativa has become a popular destination for alternative performances and theatrical events by amateur or professional groups. Additionally, visual artists can present their work in a unique and aesthetically pleasing space. The area also houses exhibitions of emerging and established artists.

Various events, such as <strong>live music concerts</strong>, <strong>screenings</strong>, <strong>press conferences</strong>, and <strong>university lectures</strong>, occur throughout the building.
