Projects

LAKKOS PROJECTS is an initiative engaged in presentation of contemporary art in Heraklion. Lakkos Projects is both a host and an actor. Apart from exhibition space, which enables presentation of artistic production on local and international level, Lakkos Projects engages with the community, creating works in public space that aim at revitalising the historical area of Lakkos.

Our location comprises of:

- exhibition space of 80 sq meters
- viewing tarrace for film and video projectsion
- smaller and larger studios for meetings and workshops
- residency house for artists

Mural painters wanted for a special school.

The local school in Lakkos is different to most public schools. Over the last couple of years they have been taking in refugee kids from Syria and Palestine. They are also a school that accepts the local Roma (gypsy kids). For these reasons the Lakkos project wants to help the school to find artist who would like to make murals inside and outside of the school.

Most of the walls are big so some previous experience would be handy. Most likely there will be a theme based around multiculturalism. If this is an interest please mention it in your application.

'The Lakkos Project'

An ongoing project, which aims to bring life to a forgotten part of Heraklion's large old city.

Ano Assites Village

The truly beautiful village of Ano Assites has asked the Lakkos project to help them get people to visit the village. We will be doing murals and all kinds of artistic interventions there.

The second event we held in the village was a live painting one. Silsil from Japan painted while a local played experimental music next the the village square. After the live painting there was a play put on by the locals.
