After seven years of successful... flying on the Athenian sky, the ART KITES by "ASTROLAVOS" Art Galleries artists, have decided to...fly to Brussels, the centre of European Union.

Therefore, this year we have organized, from 27/2 until 10/3, under the auspices of the Greek Embassy in Belgium and Mr. Nikos Sifounakis, Chairman of the Committee on Culture and Education of the European Parliament, the exhibition "ART KITES”. More specifically the exhibition will take place from 27/2 until 2/3 in Espace Bar (A.S.P. 3rd floor) and from 6/3 to 10/3 in the Room Yehudi Menuhin (P.H.S. 1st floor).

Colorful artistic suggestions, always with the kite as the main topic, will "overflow" the European Parliament, in order to make well known to the public some of our artists-partners. Elements or the Hellenic tradition, examined by the folklore researcher Vassilis Platanos, in a scientific text, which is also included in the Greek-English exhibition catalogue, will communicate to the European Union Representatives and to all visitors our customs and the art of Kite’s flying.

Works of varied practices and materials will be exhibited by the following artists: K. Bobos, A. Fassianos, E. Galati, V. Giokas, G. Golfinos, I. Gonou, E. Gravalou, M. Haros, M. Kamhis, A.
