The Kalamata Art Workshop - FARIS
The Kalamata Art Workshop has been operating since 1985. It is housed in a traditional building in the city’s coastal zone under the auspices of the Public Benefit Enterprise of the Municipality of Kalamata "Faris". In the Art Workshop, children, teenagers and adults can be introduced to visual arts under the guidance of the teachers-artists. Children's sections of mixed media (painting, ceramics, constructions), teenagers (painting, ceramics) and adults (painting, ceramics, sculpture, hagiography, linear drawing) operate in the premises.
The Visual Workshop organises various events (street performances, folk events, etc.) as well as exhibitions with the aim of bringing the city's residents into contact with visual creation. Finally, seminars aimed at both specialists and the art-loving public, Art History courses, and cooperation programmes with artistic bodies at a Greek or international level are organised.
