About
Ksoporti Art Weekend
KSOPORTI ART WEEKEND was the first action of Ksoporti Art Foundation, and it is where the foundations’ name originated from. In the Cypriot dialect, “ksoporti” means “front door” and it derives from the Greek word “eksoporta”.
The first edition took place in Limassol in 2019 in the format of an open studio event. KSOPORTI ART WEEKEND has since developed into an annual nomadic event which takes place in a different city of Cyprus each year, and in which not only artists but also galleries and art centres participate.
In KSOPORTI ART WEEKEND participating artists, galleries and art centres collectively open their studios and exhibition spaces for the public to visit. The event-goers can meet the artists behind the closed doors, and delve into their creative world by seeing the studios in their natural state. In the same manner, the event-goers are invited to visit temporary and permanent exhibitions at galleries and art centres, and experience all the components that comprise Cyprus’s art world.
We are happy to announce that our third edition will take place in Larnaca on the 13th-15th of October 2023. Submissions are now open!
