• Dear Friends of Hydra,

    ArtCinema and Powerhouse Arts are delighted to be collaborating with American artist Rob Pruitt on an upcoming edition of his long-running Flea Market project. The event will take place in Hydra on Tuesday, June 23, from 7-12pm at the Historical Archives Museum Of Hydra.

    Since 1999, Rob has organised Flea Markets with artists at museums, galleries, and fairs from New York and London to the Venice Biennale. Each iteration is shaped by its participants and is intended to be lively, informal, and open-ended.

    Inspired by the ancient Greek tradition of the Euergetes - the “Benefactor” - ArtCinema’s non-profit honours a spirit of generosity among those who wish to empower the next generation of artists to thrive through patronage and support.

    In this same spirit of compassionate care and reciprocity, Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market edition is designed to give back to the Hydra arts community and the island’s wider creative ecosystem. The market will raise funds for a series of charitable initiatives, including free summer art and film programme for Hydra teenagers, artist residency opportunities - including support for a Hydra-based artist residency to be announced - and contributions toward establishing a much-needed veterinary clinic on the island.

    Each participating artist will be provided with a table and folding chair. You are invited to sell artworks, artist-made objects (from ceramics to editions), or traditional flea-market discoveries (clothing, books, vintage vinyl.) Offering food and music are warmly welcomed.

    Artists will set their own prices, and in keeping with the ethos of giving, participants are invited to make a voluntary contribution in support of one of the selected event causes. We kindly suggest that artists or buyers donate 20% of the value of works or items, though contributions of any amount are greatly appreciated.

    PowerHouse Arts and ArtCinema (Greece) are both registered non-profits and we can facilitate electronic sales and tax deductible charity donations during the market and the following days.

    To register your interest to take part, please fill out the form HERE. We will share updates via our website and social media.

    For any specific questions, please WhatsApp Airinie, our ArtCinema non-profit Manager, at +30 698 383 4581.

    Flea Market Schedule:

    Tuesday, June 23 | 7pm - 12am

    We hope you will join us for what promises to be a generous, community-driven evening.

    Warm regards,
    Amanda Palmer, Founder of ArtCinema & Eric Shiner, President of Powerhouse Arts
