ART.Cy
ART.Cy is a social responsibility initiative to elevate the role of art, culture and history in Cyprus
The third-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, Cyprus is located at the crossroads of some of the most fascinating civilizations in history. To the east, the Mesopotamian rivers gave rise to the earliest record of human civilization in the 10th Millenium BC. To the south, Egypt rose to become the pre-eminent civilization from the fourth Millenium BC. To the northeast, the Mycenean and Minoan cultures created the first seeds of Geometric, Archaic and Classical cultures, later overtaken by Rome. Human civilization in Cyprus dates back to the Neolithic period, from 8900 BC. Our long history includes Mycenean and Minoan civilizations, Archaic and Classical Greece, Hellenistic and Roman Periods, Byzantium, Venetian and Ottoman periods, and finally British rule and independence. These cultures have all influenced the art, language and cultural fabric of the Island. To honour this history and achievement, we have decided to launch a conference and exhibition dedicated to the art and culture of Cyprus, and to accompany this with activities occurring throughout the year. Our inaugural conference takes place at the Amara Hotel in Limassol on 11-12 April 2025. Please join us in celebrating 11,000 years of art, history and human achievement on this beautiful island we call home.

Cypriot ceramic sculptor Maria Kyprianou will participate in ART.Cy’s upcoming group exhibition The Masks We Wear, taking place on 24–25 October 2026 at the Aphrodite Amathusia Cultural Centre in Limassol.
Kyprianou’s artistic practice explores the expressive potential of ceramics, with a distinctive approach to clay and large-scale sculpture. Born in 1977 in Limassol, Cyprus, she developed an early passion for art, particularly painting, before shifting her focus to sculpture.
Her work is recognized for its captivating female figures, often drawing inspiration from mythology and fairytales. Through masterful clay techniques, she brings to life expressive forms that merge tradition with contemporary artistic vision.

Cypriot contemporary figurative artist Aristos Christoforou will participate in ART.Cy’s upcoming group exhibition The Masks We Wear, taking place on 24–25 October 2026 at the Aphrodite Amathusia Cultural Centre in Limassol.
Christoforou’s artistic practice explores the powerful relationship between the human form, movement and emotion. Drawing inspiration from classical art and mythology, he combines traditional techniques with contemporary surrealism to create striking compositions that exist between realism and abstraction. Through expressive gestures, dynamic figures and rich textures in oil and charcoal, his work invites viewers to reflect on identity, resilience and transformation.
The Masks We Wear will take place on Saturday, 24 October and Sunday, 25 October 2026, from 11:00 to 20:00, at the Aphrodite Amathusia Cultural Centre in Limassol.
Admission is free: we look forward to seeing you there.

American artist Jai Mitchell will participate in ART.Cy’s upcoming group exhibition The Masks We Wear, taking place on 24–25 October 2026 at the Aphrodite Amathusia Cultural Centre in Limassol.
Mitchell’s practice is deeply rooted in the emotional and psychological dimensions of painting. Drawing from personal history and lived experience, he creates layered abstractions and emotionally charged compositions that explore trauma, resilience, vulnerability and spiritual renewal. For Mitchell, painting becomes more than a visual medium: it is a process of healing, self-examination and self-reclamation.
The Masks We Wear will take place on Saturday, 24 October and Sunday, 25 October 2026, from 11:00 to 20:00, at the Aphrodite Amathusia Cultural Centre in Limassol.
