Mission and Objectives

The Onassis Cultural Centre is Athens' new cultural space, open and accessible to everyone, hosting theatre, dance, music, visual arts events and letters. Its mission is to promote contemporary culture, to support young Greek artists, to cultivate international collaborations, to educate children and people of all ages through life-long learning. The Onassis Cultural Centre – Athens is a division of the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Foundation, Ariona S.A. This new cultural space was officially inaugurated in December 2010.

Main Projects / Activities

The emphasis is on modern and contemporary art and thought in all its dimensions and media. Though particularly concerned with the need to promote and support young Greek artists, the OCC has an international program and aims to create synergies with other institutions in order to facilitate the circulation of creative work within and outside Greece.
