ART IS HARD @ Helexpo, Pavilions 14 & 15 | 26-28.04.13
ART IS HARD is an alternative artistic and music event, held twice a year and each time its aim is to bring under the same roof new artists creating on the fringes of the cultural map of the city. It has so far 7 highly successful events in Thessaloniki (2 per year) and one in Athens in September 2012.
Thessaloniki has always been at the forefront as a reference to the domestic cultural creation with a long tradition in music and audiovisual arts. However, less well known, has been the potential stream of new artists who live and work in the city as background and but als in it, young people, with pioneer trends and ideas – consciously or not – isolated from the promotion networks, without effective communication with the audience.
ART IS HARD aspires to bring the audience closer to the creator and to expose a wider audience to contemporary creative vanguard. Such an action with this philosophy should be innovative and in the way that takes place each time. So it was decided to be the city, in the literal sense of the term, the exhibition space. A venue of thousands… square meters. A warehouse, a crafts room, a vacant lot, a stadium, a square, a neighborhood, the street … an old train station!
ART IS HARD means an action of unlimited creative expression for all who want and until now have not had the fertile ground. ART IS HARD means the art with an open look, open to all, at open and curious city spaces.
