Greece in USA is a US non-profit organization with a global reach that promotes knowledge of contemporary and ancient Greek Culture while fostering international cultural cooperation, experimentation and social engagement. The organization’s extensive programming includes commissioned artists’ and curators’ projects, residencies, educational and ecological initiatives and the commitment to cultivating a sensible culture of innovation and thought leadership.
We are dedicated to offering innovative and unique programs in education and the arts, all exploring the evolving diversity and richness of Greek and Cypriot cultures. The non-profit organization seeks to generate new thinking about the arts and promote cross-cultural dialogue through partnerships and new platforms of creation.
The organization promotes international exchange of practice and knowledge in the arts – visual and sound art, dance, architecture, theatre – research on the methods used in curatorial and performing practices and investigation of points of intersection between the arts, science and the public sphere by means of interventions, collective actions, educational programs and publications.
Greece in USA aims to collaborate and build long-lasting partnerships with leading institutions and individuals who actively engage with Greece and its culture and to convey a comprehensive and distinctive representation of Greece and Cyprus by producing cultural and educational programs that encourage intercultural dialogue and enable cultural involvement.
OUT OF THE BOX inaugurated a new art residency program in Athens in 2020. The primary mission of the residency program is to highlight contemporary art voices through the participation of artists, dancers, architects, filmmakers, poets, authors, publishers, university presses, cultural organizations and literary and artistic figures. In this context, the “Library Residency” at Panepistimiou street, in the center of Athens, has partnered with the London publishing house, Eris Art & Eris Press.
This partnership promotes collaborations and exchanges between Greek, European, Global and American artists that could contribute in the most impactful way to the Anna Lind network and residency program in Greece since the organization is one of the first to have focused on cultural diplomacy and is awarded and under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture.
OUT OF THE BOX’s programming focuses on the development of research with an emphasis on cultural diplomacy and the extroversion of Greek culture. Joining the ALF Network will provide the proper international institutional context to promote the activities of the organization that have been initially launched with a positive outcome.
The Greek Ministry of Culture already supports the initiative, however, joining an international institution at the forefront of these cultural initiatives like Ann Lind, will help promote the project in more advanced ways.
You can find more information about the residency below:
The “Library Residency” is the organization’s new initiative that fosters a dialogue between American and Greek writers and artists drawing from the interfaces between artistic creation and books. Guest writers, visual artists, filmmakers and musicians are invited to interact with, and be inspired by a book from the “Library Residency collection” to create a new concept, sketch, art project, poem, or composition based on a book.
The “Library Residency” at Panepistimiou street is “GREECE IN USA”‘s new art residency that promotes exchanges between Greek and American writers and artists and will host artist Udi Aloni in June in partnership with the Greek Film Archive.
