With its unparalleled natural beauty and rich marine environment, Alonissos is set to host one of the most innovative art exhibitions in the Mediterranean this year, as part of the European project ART4SEA, which we actively implement and support.
On 27 and 28 June 2025, the island will welcome a two-day series of events dedicated to showcasing eight original artworks — both physical and digital — created by international artists following their participation in the ART4SEA Artist-in-Residence Program in May 2024.
The artists drew inspiration from the unique landscape, the sea, and the identity of Alonissos, creating works that highlight the deep connection between people and the environment, while embracing the values of sustainability. These creations, the result of a meaningful dialogue between art and nature, will be presented to the public for the first time.
We invite you to experience this unique event, explore the artworks up close, and join us in shaping a more conscious, creative, and “blue” future.
Physical Artworks – Presentation in Patitiri – 27 June – 19:00
The event starts on Friday, 27 June in Patitiri with the unveiling of two sculptures and one mural, all integrated into the island's public space.
At 19:00, the mural by Rame13 will be unveiled in the courtyard of the Primary School of Patitiri. The artwork focuses on the sea as a home and source of life, aiming to strengthen young people’s connection with nature. It especially targets younger audiences, fostering awareness and environmental consciousness in future generations.
At 19:30, the large sculpture by Micol Cornali will be presented in the courtyard opposite the Town Hall. This public presentation offers a unique opportunity for direct engagement with the artist’s aesthetic. The final destination of this piece will be underwater, near Glyfa beach, where it will later be submerged. Titled “Aetas”, the sculpture symbolizes rebirth and reconnection with the marine environment, delivering a message of hope and transformation. Once submerged, it will also serve as a small artificial reef.
At 20:00, visitors at the port will encounter “Blue Diver” by Anna Torre, a marble sculpture representing the diver as an explorer and guardian of marine life.
The evening will close with a relaxed gathering at the port — wine, conversation, and the sea breeze, always in good spirits.
