Savvas Petrakis Art Gallery in Viannos

ABOUT

In 2004, Savvas Petrakis conceived the idea of creating a Museum of Fine Arts in Keratokampos and managed to convince some of the most significant contemporary Greek artists to create high-quality aesthetic works and donate them to the Viannos Art Gallery. Many of these works were inspired by the natural beauty of the Viannos landscape, the area's rich cultural heritage, and the significant history of Viannos in general.

Thanks to funding from the Region of Crete, a collection of approximately 200 works found a permanent home in a privately owned space starting in 2008. This space was built on the location of an old factory that was donated to the Vigla Cultural Association of Keratokampos-Kapsalos. The association managed the development of the space, which was officially opened by the former President of the Hellenic Republic, Karolos Papoulias.
