Announcing the Runners Up for our Athens Artists Open Call
RUYA MAPS ran an open call for artists based in, or from, Athens. We were impressed by the strength of the submissions received, with installation, photography, dance, and graphic design among the arts practices that were represented. The artists wrote thoughtfully about their connection to Athens, some shared childhood memories having seen it change in recent years, others explained their decision to move to it as a supportive hub for emerging artists.
Whether an established artist or fresh out of art school, an Athens native or a recent resident, each of the artists included here has a relationship with the city that connects with the unique spirit of Athens.
