Art and culture are better expressed through a large-scale exhibition such as the Fifth Art Thessaloniki Fair, said Kyriakos Pozrikidis, CEO of TIF-Helexpo, during a press conference at the International Exhibition Centre of Thessaloniki. Mr. Pozrikidis stressed that “Collectors, buyers of artworks and owners of galleries from Greece, Europe and the Balkan countries visit the exhibition”, adding that there are also galleries from mainland Greece and the islands, from Italy, Iraq, Turkey, Japan and America.

Pantelis Tsatsis, the art director of Art Thessaloniki, also noted that the exhibition features a programme of fringe events and lectures from art historians, emphasizing that Art Thessaloniki is a large-scale event taking place despite the difficulties due to the pandemic.
