The independent cultural foundation Studio 4, presents the 2nd edition of Public Art Festival under the thematic of Survival, curated by Andreas Fakis and carried out under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports and of the City of Athens.

PAF is a multileveled festival with Greek and international participations, it has a biennial frequency and it is constituted by cultural events that involve forms of art which can be encountered in public space, such as street art, graffiti –specifically in the form of documentation material, or in a preservation context, regarding important pieces– and other forms of visual art.

A number of talks, exhibitions, installations and performances in public spaces, tours, workshops, murals and parallel actions, will take place within the framework of Public Art Festival: Survival during 6 May – 8 September 2017.

Public Art Festival aims:
• to research, to define, to develop and to showcase, the various forms of visual art that exist in public space
• to further develop the domestic cultural movement
• to enhance the public space and the urban landscape, aesthetically and conceptually
• to educate the general public about the forms of art that are encountered in public space
• to create a national cultural platform of domestic and international interest
• to initiate a crucial dialogue, between the artistic community, the citizens and the institutions
• to gradually establish Athens as an international reference point for art in public space
