New year, new exhibitions
2024 is bound to bring new experiences and projects for the local art scene which already has events on the horizon. A handful of new art exhibitions are taking place this January, presenting bodies of work by young, emerging and established artists active on the island.
Happening this week is an ongoing exhibition by a group of artists who recently graduated from the Fine Art Schools of Cyprus. The exhibition Intros23 is on at Korai project space in Nicosia until Sunday, presenting pieces by Myria Gatt, Anna Thomaidou, Alisa Alexandra Kyprianou, Panteleima Nikolaidou, Ioanna Oikonomidou, Marios Paschalides and Angie Vein. Over at Prozak’s Common Room, artist Vourvoulas will display and sell original artwork from January 13 to 16, under the titled Mono Pellares.
