The Arts & Culture Unit of the Athens Institute is organizing its 16th Annual International Conference on Visual and Performing Arts, 9-12 June 2025, Athens, Greece sponsored by the Athens Journal of Humanities & Arts.

The aim of the conference is to bring together academics and researchers of visual and performing arts, and other related disciplines. You may participate as stream leader, presenter of one paper, chair of a session or observer. As is the case with the many small symposiums organized every week during the May-July period an effort is made to bring disciplines together such as Arts, Culture and Tourism.

Please note that in order to ensure the smooth flow and timely execution of the conference agenda, we are unable to accommodate any performances during the conference.
