CHEAPARTWEEK 2024


Opening: Friday, December 13, 2024, 16:00 – 22:00
Duration: December 13 - 23, 2024
Daily 16:00 – 21:00, Sat./ Sun., 14:00 – 21:00
66 Zoodochou Pigis st., Exarheia, Athens, 10681

CHEAPARTWEEK 2024: Let’s Connect brings together more than 120 visual artists, curators, performance artists, actors, musicians, directors, and composers, collaborating on a major artistic production, an adventure of art, experimentation, discovery, networking, and exchange of ideas.

For 10 days, from December 13 to 23, over 800 artworks and 7 curatorial proposals will be showcased across 7 floors of CHEAPART's building at 66 Zooodochou Pigis, in the heart of Exarchia. The Athenian public will also experience a vibrant program of 20 performances, along with experimental music and sound events, featuring emerging and established artists from Greece and abroad.


CHEAPARTWEEK 2024: Let’s Connect. Communication is the key to the promotion and spread of the arts and culture, connecting the artist with the artwork and the audience. From its inception to today, CHEAPART emphasizes communication by bringing fresh and innovative ideas that lead the way across time. Technology today has seemingly made communication easier, yet more impersonal at the same time. CHEAPART addresses this by facilitating direct interactions between artists and curators, where new collaborations can develop.

CHEAPARTWEEK is much more advanced and intricate than an exhibition; it represents the connection of a community of artists and art lovers that continuously evolves, creates, and functions much like a living organism.
It develops in response to contemporary circumstances, fostering relationships, collaborations, and solutions that serve as pioneering examples for their era. Showcasing contemporary art and artists through its diverse platforms is one of CHEAPART's most significant contributions to the contemporary Greek art scene. The most valuable aspect, as a pioneering organization, is its system that allows everyone to leverage the experience and applications of CHEAPART to create their own path, thus enriching the Athenian art scene.

The extensive and multidimensional, program that connects Greek and international artists includes not only CHEAPARTWEEK but also the annual artistic review Back to Athens, Athens Intersection, ARTmART in Vienna, and festivals like the Zig Zag Festival.

CHEAPART makes the process of discovering art a more exciting experience by hosting exhibitions in buildings that have defined the Athenian landscape for the past 100 years. This exploration has revealed a hidden picture of Athens; those who have undertaken this journey have gained insight into the city's history through its buildings.
