We are delighted to announce that the Canadian Institute in Greece
has relocated to its new premises at Orminiou 3 (close to the Hilton
Hotel), purchased in 2017 and now newly renovated. This marks an
important step in the Institute’s expansion and visibility in Greece.
The three-storey, historically significant building and prime example
of 1930s Athens architecture was the residence of the well-known
writer, artist and art critic, Stratis Doukas, from 1938 until 1981.
Since its founding in 1974, the Canadian Institute’s key objective has
been to promote Canadian research and education in fields relating to
Greece’s heritage, including significant archaeological fieldwork and
scientific study. Throughout the years, the Institute has had to expand
several times in order to meet growing needs. By relocating to its
spacious new premises, the Institute will now be able to further enhance
its contribution to Greek archaeology and expand its activities to
include arts and culture, by presenting the work of Canadian artists and
promoting collaboration between Canadian and Greek cultural
communities.
We look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to our new home, as soon as circumstances allow.
Jonathan Tomlinson
Assistant Director
