Actively promoting the arts with an eye on the Cretan sea for inspiration, the G & A Mamidakis Foundation announces the launch of the “Sea to Shore Stories” art project to open at the Minos Beach Art Hotel in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, on July 9.

Minos_mamidakis_Atrium_A_1 LRAiming to organize the event annually, the new creative project invites one artist every year to work with the sea as their central theme of inspiration. For 2016, invited artist Kostas Ioannidis presents his “Sea to Shore Stories” — a series of works which will adorn the hotel reception areas and will create an “imaginary” aesthetic trail throughout the Minos Beach. Curated by Katerina Gregos, the series will feature among other works “Lost Ears of Paleopolis”, “Everlasting Song” and “Hanging Gardens”.
