​Why become a Friend of Kalogerou

​

On the island of Othoni, where Greece begins, Kalogerou opens its doors to visual artists, musicians, designers, researchers and students from Greece and abroad. Here they find time, quiet, and a small community that lives on the island all year round. What they create does not leave with them; it stays on the island and with its people, as memory and trace.

​

The Friends Programme is your way to become part of this story. Whether you live on the island, carry it with you from afar, or simply fell in love with it, your support keeps the house open and the island alive.

​

Being a Friend is not only financial support. It is also a statement that you stand behind what Kalogerou stands for: contemporary creation and the protection of the environment on a remote frontier island, and the community that lives here all year round. Your presence matters as much as any membership fee.

​
