Alternative Poros Arts Festival

7 May 23

Invitation to an open meeting

Katheti invites all of you who would like to actively participate in the implementation of this year’s Alternative Poros Arts Festival to the open meeting that will take place on Sunday, May 7th, at 6pm at the Syggrou building.

Poros Arts Festival is a cultural festival with free entry, which features all kinds of arts. Its goal is to make Poros a cultural point of reference for the Argosaronic gulf and to introduce local youth to art and culture. At the same time, it features notable local artists, but also well-known artists from Greece or abroad. Finally, the public gets to know the island’s beautiful neighborhoods hosting the cultural events, is fascinated and travels through a celebration of culture.

The history

The 1st Poros Arts Festival, with the motto “One island, one celebration!” started in 2014 by the Citizens & Consumers Association with the support of the Poros Municipality. Initially, it was based solely on volunteering citizens, enthusiastic organizers and artists, and loyal entrepreneurs and sponsors. Since 2015, Poros Municipality became the festival’s co-organizer.

During the pandemic, Poros Arts Festival was limited to very few, large events (mainly concerts), organized by the Municipality, with the support of the Attica Region. In 2023, the Municipality entrusted Katheti with the organization of a part of the festival, which we call “Alternative Poros Arts Festival”.

So this summer, Katheti, the Municipality of Poros and the team of local volunteers, in a collaborative spirit, will revive our own local festival with a variety of cultural events.

The Alternative Poros Arts Festival 2023 events

This year’s Alternative Poros Arts Festival will include a rich program, covering a wide range of arts:

  • Documentary festival
  • Concerts
  • Theater performances for children and adults
  • Photography and mixed arts exibitions
  • Dancing evenings
  • Street art festival

The Alternative Poros Arts Festival aims at:

  • offering a space of artistic expression to local artists
  • enriching our local artistic and cultural life with incoming artistic suggestions.
  • contributing to the development and promotion of cultural tourism in our region.

In the past, Katheti has organized photography and painting exhibitions, theater workshops and seminars, painting workshops, theater performances, book presentations and children’s events. Some of the activities of the last years are what we achieved in 2021 and 2022, and provide us the experience and the boost to continue even stronger this year.

We are looking forward to discussing and envisioning this summer together with you!

Join Katheti’s work!
