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.
