Art Cinema Hydra Prelude
Part II
Here is my personal little journey in pictures of a fantastic event during the Prelude: Rob Pruitt’s Flea Market.
The one-day art market was premiere on the Island of Hydra in a spectacular setting: the rooftop terrace of the Greek Archives Museum Hydra, overlooking the port of the island.
Local artists and some from around the globe displayed their work; a part of the proceeds was donated to raise funds for a much needed vet clinic on Hydra.
The response to my clothes and accessories made from discarded garments and other materials was incredible.
The blurred lines between art and couture caught the attention of many visitors at this art market which showcased a beautiful mix of paintings, sculpture, photography - and upcycling.
The Art Cinema Hydra Prelude officially concluded with a movie screening at the Gardenia Open Air Cinema, which is run by the wonderful Lakis Christidis. Guests gathered in front of the Gardenia, to watch the new sign revealed which was designed and painted by a group of local artists.
The film “Hydra & Sophia - Echoes of a Dolphin“, a short documentary about how the timeless beauty of the island has attracted film makers over the decades, was presented, and later a pre screening of “The Birthday Party”.
