Art4More Mental Health & Arts Festival

Description of initiative

From 2007 until now, Art4More has been established as the first festival in Greece to connect art with mental health. Art4More Mental Health & Arts Festival is an innovative international festival dedicated to contemporary art, mental health and public awareness of social issues. It is organized annually by the K.S.D.E.O. on the occasion of World Mental Health Day (October 10). The festival is designed to be in line with the city and its dynamics, inviting visitors to play an active role in the awareness process. Each year a new theme is selected, bringing together contemporary international works in the fields of art, music, film, architecture, theater, dance, new media and design and providing exhibitions, workshops for children and adults, screenings, discussions, events, music concerts, etc.
