The doors of 22 studios of 36 artists of Thessaloniki open, during 19 & 20 October, 2024, on the occasion of the Open Studios 24 event, organised by MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art. Four different routes are depicted on the map of the city, which the public can follow along with the Museum's curators or independently on the two days, 12:00-20:00, when the studios will remain open.
The aim of this event, which is directly connected to the exhibition on show “From Now On. Stories for a Next Tomorrow” and supported by the 59th Dimitria Festival of the Municipality of Thessaloniki, is to showcase and support independent artistic work, artistic research and experimentation, to foster the exchange of ideas, freedom of expression and dialogue.
In direct contact with the artists, the public has the opportunity to experience individual creative worlds in the space and at the moment of their formation.
