Art exhibitions in Greece

Overview

Various art exhibitions are being held across Greece, focusing on diverse themes such as historical retrospectives, photography, and maritime connections.

In late July 2026, exhibitions on the islands of Andros, Paros, and Poros highlighted different artistic practices. These included a retrospective of sculptor Germaine Richier at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Andros, a photographic collection by Robert A. McCabe documenting Aegean island life from the 1950s to the 1970s on Paros, and contemporary solo shows by Afrodita Liti and Nikos Podias on Poros.

By August 2026, exhibitions expanded to include maritime and sensory themes. At the Archaeological Museum of Nikopolis, the installation ‘Sea Memory: Characterful Soundscapes’ features works from 25 modern Greek artists, creating a dialogue between contemporary art and archaeological artifacts. In Skala Politouchnitou, photographer Giorgos Arapoglou presents ‘Para Thin’ Alos’, a solo exhibition focusing on the light and landscapes of the sea surrounding Lesvos.

Further island exhibitions in late August include the AFI artist collective’s ‘syn AFI’ at the historic Bazeos Tower on Naxos, which uses materials like wood, iron, clay, and textiles to engage with the monument’s architecture. Additionally, the ‘Mnemosyne’ curatorial concept on Amorgos connects three different locations through a series of interconnected exhibitions.
