Get the difference?

CHEAPART is a forum where artists and audiences meet and exchange ideas, plan and develop future collaborations. The work of art is the pretence, not the purpose. Networking among individuals supports CHEAPART as well as the social structure that embrases it. The small group of artists that originated in 1995 has evolved and multiplied, engaging in new ventures of mutual support, collaboration, and developing future plans. The "small-sized" artwork is actually, huge, it is the original cell, the genetic material that belongs to a larger organism of which we are all part of: contemporary art. It is therefore not accidental, that these affiliate networks contribute to new probabilities and solutions by releasing a fresh and unique artistic potential in the emerging art scene. Can you tell the difference?

CHEAPART’s 24th edition will be inaugurated on Friday, December 14th at the historical building of Exarchia Square, where it first opened in 1995. From December 14th - December 23rd, more than 75 artists will introduce new entities of work, engage and connect with the audience in person.
