The greatest Art Fair of Athens, the biggest artworks presentation! Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti joins Art Athina at Zappeion Mansion, from Friday 13 September to Monday 16 September 2019.

Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti will be participating with two contemporary artists who are reassessing art theory, history, form, light and shadow. This year, Booth E6 of the Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery will be featuring the work of Christos Antonaropoulos and Konstantinos Tolis.

Eleven consecutive years, Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti would like to invite art lovers, collectors, as well as young people to visit and enjoy selected works with a focus on the modern era, created by these two Greek visual artists.

Our aim at the Ikastikos Kiklos Sianti Gallery is to promote artists who embrace new artistic approaches, interacting with space in a decisive way.

The forthcoming 24th Art Athina 2019 which is being organized by the Hellenic Art Galleries Association, is funded by the Regional Operational Program “Attica” 2014-2020 and is under the auspices of the President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr. Prokopis Pavlopoulos.
