With this year’s theme being “I Zoi mas Oli – Our Entire Life”, in 2025 Odyssey will celebrate Hellenism through Art, Education, Theatre, Music and Festivities.
The Celebration of Art:
As part of our Odyssey celebrations, we once again intend to feature the talented works of local artists as part of the Art Exhibition, which is held throughout the duration of the festival at its hub at Olympic Hall on Franklin Street, Adelaide.
We are seeking expressions of interest from young and new artists with a love for Hellenic culture to display their works based on the theme “I Zoi mas Oli – Our Entire Life”. The art work selected by a group of eminent art judges, will be awarded “The Odyssey Art Prize” of $1000 First Prize, $600 Second Prize and $400 Third Prize.
We are seeking creativity in all forms, be it painting, drawing, print making, ceramics, sculpture or any creative art form (except photography), expressing “I Zoi mas Oli – Our Entire Life”, through the Greek arts being interpreted any way the artist wishes, be it relating it to modern day or historical. The winning piece will become a permanent fixture in the Greek Orthodox Community gallery and non-winning pieces will be available for purchase.
