Future Artists

 

Annual Exhibition of Children’s Art
29 March – 30 April 2026

 

Aigaia School of Art & Design invites you to the annual exhibition of children’s art “Future Artists”, celebrating the creativity, imagination and free expression of young creators.

The opening of the exhibition will take place on Sunday, 29 March 2026 at 5:00 pm.
The exhibition will be officially opened by Elena Perikleous, Commissioner for Children’s Rights.

Visitors are invited to wander through a vibrant collection of paintings, sculptures, ceramic works, photographs, characters, objects and small visual stories that have emerged from the children’s creative processes. The young artists of Aigaia School present their own unique ways of observing and interpreting the world around them. With spontaneity, sensitivity and imagination, they remind us that creativity is a powerful tool for thinking and expression, especially important in responding to the challenges of our contemporary world.

Throughout the academic year, the children participated in specialised workshops that rotated throughout the programme, introducing them to different areas of Fine Arts, Design and Media. Through this process, they experimented with materials, techniques and ideas, developing a multidimensional visual understanding, which is reflected in the exhibition where all students take part.

Aigaia School seeks to cultivate and strengthen an appreciation for the visual arts as an essential element of culture. Through a wide range of creative activities, children are encouraged to observe the world with curiosity, express their inner thoughts and feelings, record experiences and memories, develop critical thinking and explore creative ways of responding to ideas and challenges.

During the exhibition, guided tours and creative activities will be organised for visitors. Teachers are welcome to attend with their classes, and parents are invited to visit together with their children. The educational character of the exhibition offers children of different ages the opportunity to discover themes, ideas and artistic approaches, creating a unique, interactive and inspiring experience.

Opening: Sunday, 29 March 2026 @ 5:00 pm
Exhibition Dates: 29 March – 30 April 2026
Opening Hours: Monday – Saturday (during the school’s opening hours)

MidPoint

MIDPOINT έκθεση εικαστικών τεχνών

Η Αιγαία παρουσιάζει την ομαδική έκθεση MidPoint, προβάλλοντας τη μέχρι τώρα πορεία των δημιουργών της σχολής. Στην έκθεση παρουσιάζεται ποικιλία τεχνικών και υλικών: ζωγραφική, κεραμική, φωτογραφία, χαρακτική, μικτές τεχνικές και εννοιολογικά έργα, που προσφέρουν διαφορετικές οπτικές και τρόπους έκφρασης. Μέσα από προσωπική εμπειρία, πειραματισμό και συνεχή εξέλιξη, οι δημιουργοί συναντιούνται σε έναν κοινό χώρο έκφρασης, συνθέτοντας έναν διάλογο που ξεκινά από τα ίδια τους τα έργα. Η έκθεση MidPoint είναι μια στιγμή στάσης και αναστοχασμού, ένα ενδιάμεσο σημείο ανάμεσα σε όσα έχουν ήδη δημιουργηθεί και σε όσα οι δημιουργοί ετοιμάζονται να εξερευνήσουν στη συνέχεια.

Μέσα από συζήτηση και βιωματικές δραστηριότητες, οι επισκέπτριες/ες θα έχουν την ευκαιρία να γνωρίσουν διαφορετικές τεχνικές, υλικά και ιδέες που παρουσιάζονται στην έκθεση. Στόχος είναι η εμπειρία να είναι ουσιαστική, προσιτή και δημιουργική για όλα τα άτομα. Για επισκέψεις από σχολεία και οργανωμένα γκρουπ, η κράτηση ραντεβού είναι απαραίτητη.

2025 annual exhibition

As the academic year comes to a close, Aigaia School of Art and Design presents its annual group exhibition, featuring work by students across all levels of study. The exhibition brings together diverse artistic responses to everyday life, social observation, and the ongoing need for personal expression. It offers a shared visual journey that begins with individual viewpoints and evolves into a broader collective experience. Through themes such as identity, introspection, and the search for connection, the exhibition invites visitors to pause, reflect, and engage.

The works on display are the result of a year dedicated to fostering independent and authentic artistic voices. Through a wide range of media — painting, ceramics, mixed media, installation, fashion and textile design, and digital art — students communicate ideas, emotions, and narratives with intention and clarity.

In a world shaped by rapid change and social complexity, young artists are called to position themselves both critically and creatively. They respond with imagination, thoughtfulness, and sensitivity, drawing on personal experiences and the broader context of contemporary life. Each piece stands as an open invitation — a prompt to reconsider and reimagine the world around us.

Material, colour, and form become vessels for meaning and feeling. Sometimes bold and direct, at other times quiet and subtle, the artworks navigate the space between inner reflection and external reality. Collectively, they express a generation’s desire to explore, question, and communicate with honesty and depth.

The exhibition will open on Saturday 21 June 2025 at 20:00, at Aigaia School of Art and Design, 81 Agion Omologiton, and will remain open until 27 June 2025 (Monday to Saturday), during the school’s regular opening hours.

OPEN DAYS will be held during the exhibition, enabling visitors to be thoroughly informed about all the programs on offer and to take guided tours of the exhibition and school premises.

 

about...

This project looks at how everyday actions and feelings are viewed through a lens that objectifies women. Under this perspective, nothing remains neutral—everything is filtered through what society has been taught to see.
 – 3rd year student

Capturing the fleeting — balloon shapes — and giving them new life through the lasting weight of clay. – 2nd year student

Using colour as a tool for emotional expression, this work explores colour theory and chromotherapy—how colours carry meaning, affect mood, and support emotional well-being. – 3rd year student

Combining both physical and digital media in an attempt to convey globalised thoughts of empathy and place in the world, using my body and identity as a physical manifestation (/perspective). – 3rd year student

exhibition of children’s art 2025

Aigaia School of Art and Design invites you to the Annual Exhibition of its Young Artists, which takes place between the 6th and 29th April 2025.

Wander in between colours, brushstrokes, sculptures, ceramics, paintings, photographs, characters, objects, stories. All our children groups had the opportunity to work in our specialised studios and workshops in rotation, resulting in their experiencing a range of the Art, Design and media pathways. The exhibition reflects their spherical visual understanding, which they have ultimately developed. Our young artists demonstrated their creativity in a truthful and unspoiled manner, something essential in finding solutions for today’s challenges.

Our purpose is always to highlight the importance of the cultural cultivation that unfolds when growing up with the arts as part of everyday life, as well as the appreciation cultivated of the visual arts, as an element of culture. Via the various activities we challenge the children’s awareness, pushing them to spontaneously imprint their surroundings. To express their inner world, to record experiences, moments and encounters, to develop critical thinking, to propose solutions.

During the exhibition, guided tours and activities will be offered will be offered for children in primary education, which can be attended by school classes with their teachers as well as families.

The educational nature of the exhibition, gives educators and families the opportunity to visit with various age groups and ‘discover’ themes, ideas and meanings, offering an exciting educational experience to children.

Theatre performance: Medea by Bost

Μήδεια, του Μποστ

Η Μήδεια του Μποστ αποτελεί μια παρωδία της ομώνυμης τραγωδίας του Ευριπίδη, γραμμένη σε δεκαπεντασύλλαβο. Ο Μποστ φέρνει σε επαφή την τραγική ηρωίδα με ετερόκλητους χαρακτήρες από διαφορετικές ιστορικές περιόδους, παίζοντας με συνειρμούς και αναφορές και καυτηριάζοντας την κοινωνία μέσα από την ιστορία της Μήδειας, η οποία σκοτώνει τα παιδιά της.


σκηνοθετικό σημείωμα:

Οι χαρακτήρες του Μποστ δραπετεύουν από τον κόσμο τους και εκτοξεύονται σε ένα δυστοπικό σύμπαν. Σε ένα σχεδόν μετα-αποκαλυπτικό τοπίο. 

Ο χορός βρίσκεται κάτω δεξιά και αριστερά της σκηνής.
Οι νότες από την Carmina Burana -veris leta facies- ακούγονται στο βάθος.

The merry face of spring
turns to the world,
sharp winter
now flees, vanquished;
bedecked in various colors
Flora reigns,
the harmony of the woods
praises her in song. Αχ!

Ο χορός ανεβαίνει στην σκηνή.
Το τοπίο θυμίζει το τέλος του κόσμου.
Οι τελευταίες λέξεις που έχουν απομείνει:
Κραυγή-Σιωπή-Εισπνοή-Εκπνοή-Τα σκουπίδια να μην είναι όρθια βαλμένα αλλά ριγμένα κάτω και σωριασμένα-Εισπνοή.

Η Μήδεια αναπνέει.
