Yesterday Dutch Ambassador to Greece Caspar Veldkamp attended the closing ceremony of the Orange Water festival at the Netherlands Institute in Athens (www.nia.gr/nl/).

The Orange Water Art Festival is built on the idea of exchanges between contemporary artists from Greece and the Netherlands with the main theme ‘Memory Landscape’.

The first festival was hosted in sites located in Crete, Paros and Athens. Together with the Greek ministry of Culture and Sports the Dutch Embassy has supported this wonderful collaboration between artists, which has resulted in a catalog with a diverse collection of artwork.
