The largest mural ever realized by the Municipality of Athens adorns a 1.100 square meters external wall of the Panellinios Gymnastikos Syllogos<\/strong> in the city’s heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the frame of its public murals project, the Municipality chose the external walls of a historical site, the oldest sports club in the country, inviting eight talented street artists to create an impressive mural – both in size and aesthetics – inspired by sports ideals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the walls of Mavromataion and Evelpidon streets were painted in vivid colours, <\/strong>thus upgrading a central point of the city, a true landmark abandoned for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the space allotted to each of the artists, a piece of art was created that, as a whole, underlines the long history of sport in Greece and its importance in man’s physical and mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soteur, Tzomakas, Bassment Rats, Cacao Rocks, Kez, Volkov, Giannakopoulos and Gospel <\/strong>are the eight street artists who collaborated to create this unique work of art on a wall. The mural captures “fair play” and sportsmanship, paying homage to the past and sending solid messages for sport’s bright future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was coordinated by the City of Athens Cultural Office of the Municipality of Athens <\/strong>under the supervision of Katerina Koskina <\/strong>and implemented in collaboration with Art Hub Athens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paints for the mural -a total of 812 litres- <\/strong>were provided by KRAFT Paints through the<\/strong> City of Athens <\/strong>“Adopt your city<\/strong>” program.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire mural will be covered with anti-graffiti material to avoid future damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was implemented in the framework of Culture is Athens.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
