From the 8th of June to the 22nd of June, 24 artists, all living in Crete but from 10 different countries, will exhibit their works in the old police station in Paleochora. This year, the exhibition will once again show a wide spectrum of photography, paintings and sculptures. The opening will take place on the 8th of June at 8 pm. The old police station is open every day from 7 pm to 11:30 pm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The closing of the town hall, due to its fragility, challenged us to find a new exhibition space. But in Paleochora there are many friends of art and so the old police station was offered to us as a venue. This old classicist house has a long history and is an exceptional exhibition venue with two prison cells.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Claudia Boldura and her Art Flow Gallery are partners of Paleochora Art Week. She provides additional exhibition space for the artists in her gallery. Her motto is „feed your eyes“ and this is possible daily from 6 pm to 10 pm. The gallery is closed on Mondays.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As in previous years, large sculptures will be displayed along the stony boulevard. Kostas Liatakis, a sculptor from Paleochora, is happy that the sculptures will again be placed outside under a bright blue sky. „In this way we continue to follow our idea of bringing art to people, where they are in everyday life. And in summer it’s the sea,“ says Gerhard Stelzhammer, sculptor and like Kosta a member of the organization team. So the Paleochora Art Week this year is concentrated on three exhibition venues.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n A varied supporting programme accompanies the Art Week with lots of live music from soul, jazz, tango and rock ’n‘ roll. Kostas Kalives will play Greek blues – the Rembetiko – to the guests and will support the Paleochora Art Week just like the other musicians.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n But adults can also be creative. On two evenings, Claudia Boldura invites us to paint a picture together in the Art Flow Gallery. Those who prefer to watch can witness the process of making a mermaid sculpture by Gerhard Stelzhammer at the stony boulevard.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Paleochora Art Week is a network of artists, a non-profit organization, without its own money. Since there are some cultural events in June this year, the Art Week expected that the support of sponsors would be rather difficult. „But to our surprise, we can say that Paleochora loves the Art Week. It has been very popular with locals and tourists for years. We got enough support to be able to realize this special art event,“ says Efi Fiotaki from the organizing team. Art Week says „\u0395\u03c5\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03b5“ (thank you!) and invites everyone to drop by to see the artworks and engage in conversation with the artists.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n press contact<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Conni Lins, Efi Fiotaki<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n paleochora-art-week@outlook.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n www.paleochora-art-week.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PaleochoraArtWeek\/<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Paleochora Art Week kehrt 2019 zur\u00fcck <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Vom 8. Juni bis zum 22. Juni werden 24 K\u00fcnstlerinnen und K\u00fcnstler, allle auf Kreta lebend, doch aus 10 verschiedenen L\u00e4ndern stammend, ihre Kunstwerke in der alten Polizeistation in Paleochora ausstellen. Die Ausstellung zeigt auch dieses Jahr wieder ein breites Spektrum aus Fotografie, Malerei und Bildhauerei. Die Er\u00f6ffnung findet am 8. Juni um 20 Uhr statt. Die alte Polizeistation ist jeden Tag von 19 bis 23:30 Uhr ge\u00f6ffnet.<\/p>\n Die Schlie\u00dfung der Stadthalle, aufgrund ihrer Bauf\u00e4lligkeit, stellte uns vor die Herausforderung einen neuen Ausstellungsraum zu finden. Doch in Paleochora gibt es viele Freunde der Kunst und so wurde uns die alte Polizeistation als Veranstaltungsort zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt. Dieses alte klassizistische Haus hat eine lange Geschichte und ist ein au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlicher Ausstellungsort, der sogar mit zwei Gef\u00e4ngniszellen aufwartet.<\/p>\n Claudia Boldura ist mit ihrer Art Flow Gallerie Partnerin der Paleochora Art Week. Sie stellt in ihrer Gallerie weiteren Ausstellungsraum f\u00fcr die K\u00fcnstler zur Verf\u00fcgung. Ihr Motto ist \u201efeed your eyes\u201c und das ist t\u00e4glich von 18 bis 22 Uhr m\u00f6glich. Montags bleibt die Gallerie geschlossen.<\/p>\n Wie in den letzten Jahren werden gro\u00dfe Skulpturen an der Steinstrandpromenade aufgestellt. Kostas Liatakis, ein aus Paleochora stammender Bildhauer freut sich, dass die Skulpturen wieder drau\u00dfen unter strahlend blauem Himmel aufgestellt werden. \u201eSo bleiben wir unserer Idee treu, Kunst zu den Menschen zu bringen, also dort wo sie im Alltag sind. Und im Sommer ist es nun mal am Meer,\u201c so Gerhard Stelzhammer, Bildhauer und wie Kosta t\u00e4tig im Organisationsteam. So ist die Paleochora Art Week dieses Jahr auf drei Ausstellungsorte konzentriert.<\/p>\n Ein abwechslungsreiches Rahmenprogramm begleitet die Art Week mit viel Live Musik von Soul, Jazz, Tango und Rockn’Rock. Kostas Kalives wird den G\u00e4sten griechischen Blues – den Rembetiko – vorspielen und unterst\u00fctzt so, genau wie die anderen Musiker die Paleochora Art Week.<\/p>\n Aber auch Erwachsene d\u00fcrfen kreativ werden. Claudia Boldura l\u00e4dt an zwei Abenden ein, gemeinsam ein Bild in der Art Flow Gallery zu malen. Wer lieber zuguckt, kann bei Artist at Work, z.B. Gerhard Stelzhammer an der Steinstrandpromenade zuschauen, wie er eine Meerjungfrau bildhauert.<\/p>\n Die Paleochora Art Week ist ein Netzwerk von K\u00fcnstlerinnen und K\u00fcnstlern, eine Non-Profit Organisation, ohne eigenes Geld. Da in diesem Jahr im Juni einige kulturelle Events sind, hat die Art Week damit gerechnet, dass die Unterst\u00fctzung durch Sponsoren eher schwierig w\u00fcrde. \u201eDoch zu unserer \u00dcberraschung, k\u00f6nnen wir sagen, Paleochora liebt die Art Week. Sie ist seit Jahren bei den Einheimischen und bei vielen Touristen sehr beliebt. Wir haben gen\u00fcgend Unterst\u00fctzung bekommen, um dieses besondere Kunstevent umsetzen zu k\u00f6nnen\u201c, so Efi Fiotaki aus dem Organisationsteam. Die Art Week sagt \u201e\u0395\u03c5\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03b5\u201d <\/span>(wir danken!) und l\u00e4dt alle ein, <\/span>vorbeizuschauen<\/span> um die Kunstwerke zu sehen und mit den K\u00fcnstlern ins Gespr\u00e4ch zu kommen.<\/span><\/p>\n Pressekontakt<\/b><\/p>\n Conni Lins, Efi Fiotaki<\/p>\n paleochora-art-week@outlook.com<\/p>\n www.paleochora-art-week.com<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PaleochoraArtWeek\/<\/p>\n Starting with a great opening party at 7:30 pm the 3<\/span><\/span><\/span>rd<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span> of September in the Town Hall of Paleochora. 40 artists from around the world will take part, exhibiting their artwork up until 18<\/span><\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span> of September, in the Town Hall and in the 23 Art Points of Paleochora, in the bars, cafes, taverns, hotels and at the beaches around the village.This year there is again a tombola.

Now the Paleochora Art Week is a 16 day event with extra attractions. The greatest attraction is the Underwater exhibition at Methexis Beach. This is the second year that visitors can snorkel in the sea and view the exhibition.
