A Foundation dedicated to Fine Arts and Music
The Foundation
The B & M Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts and Music was founded as a non-profit Foundation for the public benefit in 2004 and ratified by Presidential Decree.
The Foundation opened its gates to the public in December 2007.
Our mission
The B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation’s first aim is to promote Music and the Fine Arts, both nationally and internationally. Through its Spyros Papaloukas permanent collection, it maintains a focus on Modernist art, while investigating its development over the centuries to the contemporary art world of today.
We encourage the public to enter into a wide range of interdisciplinary dialogues, exchanges and educational adventures around the history of music and the visual arts.
Through the Foundations’ varied activities, we aim to promote the work of Greek artists within Greece and abroad. In addition to organizing quarterly periodical exhibitions, the Foundation collaborates with a wide range of professionals, designs and facilitates a variety of educational programs as well as lectures, concerts and seminars. We aim to develop networks and links within the arts in a wholistic way by both embracing their uniqueness and shining light into their omnipresent similarities.
The Foundation wishes to unite families, communities and cultures under the adventurous, ever-changing and exciting spirit of Art. Lately, special emphasis is placed on attracting younger visitors, familiarizing them with Music and the Visual arts and their various experiential forms, cultivating their aesthetic antennas, and making them feel at ease in a Museum environment.
we have since 2007 carried over
exhibitions, lectures and educational workshops
The Foundation is a testament of Bassilis and Marina Theocharakis’ willingness to contribute to Arts and Music in a way that exceeds the individual active participation in the Arts.
