We have organised actions of cultural character that promote the folk artistic tradition and heritage, workshops, exhibitions, and we have published 25 chapters of our own cultural programme “Delivering Views”. We work with a series of local craftsmen and all our handmade products are delivered through collaborations with the entire community. All of our art products (art works, ceramics, jewelery) bare the handmade seal. We host a broad selection of original art pieces, paintings, sketches, poetry collections and conference books, and, through our events, we try to project all different viewpoints for the island. We wholeheartedly and unfairly support our projects through minimum governmental and private fundings as well as personal effort to highlight the cultural treasure of Cyprus to the locals and tourists.
