Kydonieos Foundation

Kydonieos Foundation | Art Nouveau and modern Greek art

Kydonieos FoundationThe Kydonieos Foundation is an organisation aiming to operate as a cultural and intellectual centre in Andros. It was founded in 1994 by Petros and Marika Kydonieos. The Kydonieos Foundation, in the context of its social mission, presents art in its broader and integrated form. It aims to promote cultural events on the island of Andros and the rest of Greece. Without border barriers, it focuses on visual arts, plastic arts, music, theatre, literature and dance.

The direction of the Foundation is based on two pillars. On the one hand the steady contribution to the people of Andros. The spiritual and cultural way out of the island’s people during the winter and fall period. The second pillar is the events organised and carried out during the summer period when the island is vibrating with life.
