The Municipality of Athens is calling all artists and art groups to do their magic and bring the landmark Kypseli Public Market back to life on November 5 through to December 18.

For six weeks, artists will have the chance to add color and style to the market, which is located along the central Fokionos Negri pedestrian walkway, transforming it into a platform of exchange and creativity.

In the meantime, the Kypseli Agora hosts art activities, photography exhibits, educational and book-sharing events, sharing economy exchanges,  workshops, concerts and theater performances as well as solidarity initiatives.

A series of events will focus on the history of the market, of the Kypseli neighborhood as well as of the local community.

Fridays (from 4pm to 8pm) are dedicated to communication: under the title “Mike to the Citizens”, city dwellers will have a chance to share their views on a number of issues affecting them. For news on events and happenings at the Kypseli Public Market visit https://www.facebook.com/agorakypselis.
