Patronage can take many forms, as one beloved Greek art patron describes it: supporting creativity might mean collecting, curating events and exhibitions, building networks, or simply nurturing friendships and relationships that contribute to cultural life. At ArtCinema, we welcome all who share this spirit.

Rooted in the spirit of Euergetes, or patronage, our mission spans filmmaking, educational labs, artist residencies, and creative grants - all thoughtfully curated through our friends and Patrons Circle. Our non-profit, ArtCinema Greece is our officially registered Greek non-profit under the Ministry of Culture, dedicated to film, art, education, and philanthropy. We are also dedicated to preserving and enhancing Hydra’s unique reputation as a natural, cultural, and historical sanctuary within Greece and the Argosaronic islands - one that cherishes both its people, animals and its environment.
