Note that, as of 2018, the Kopelouzos Family Art Museum and Art Athina will be rewarding with a prize of € 10,000 a Greek artist participating in the event, an educational program for students of the School of Fine Arts by the Ioannis Kostopoulos Foundation in collaboration with the School of Fine Arts, as well as Art Athina Workspace - an art residency of 2 months with the support of the City of Athens and Athens Culture Net. Here, artists from different parts of the world will be staying for 4 weeks in Athens to create projects that will be hosted on the stands of the studios that they represent. Furthermore, open-air studios are operated all year round in the outdoor space of Art Athina - regardless of the days of the main events - where on a Saturday every month artists living in Athens and represented by agents of the event open up their workshops and present their work to young collectors.

Participating in these projects are more than 800 artists from various major art galleries from the 4 continents such as Agathi-kartalos (Athens), Anna Pappas Gallery (Melbourne), Françoise Heitsch (Munich), Emalin (London), Modern Shapes (Antwerp), Sade (Los Angeles), Soft Opening (London), Stems Gallery (Brussels), The Hole (New York), and many others.

Art Athina is an event aiming at bringing together artists from all over the world, uniting cultures, expanding collaborations between countries, helping to exchange views, and offering to the passionate art audience relaxation and emotional enjoyment. Let us not forget that art is the part of civilization that unites the peoples, destroys boundaries, and treats all humans equally as a whole body that stretches beyond social stereotypes.
