ΣΕΒΕ: 50 Χρόνια Εξωστρέφειας - η ARTiCON κάλυψε την εκδήλωση

The “Mount Athos Center” is an urban-non-profit organization, founded in 2000 by the Municipality of Thessaloniki in collaboration with the Holy Community of Mount Athos. The Center essentially forms the institutional continuation and the natural “evolution” of the monumental exhibition “Treasures of Mount Athos”, held in 1997, within the framework and under the auspices of “Thessaloniki: Cultural Capital of Europe”.

The Center is located in the heart of the city, at the historic Nedelkos Mansion, on 109 Egnatia Street, a building which was donated by the City of Thessaloniki for the Center's activities.

The Mount Athos Center is run by a governing body of Board of Directors, consisting of seven members presided over by the Mayor of Thessaloniki (ex officio).  The council includes an honorary president, the current Overseer of Mount Athos, three members who are appointed by the Council of the Municipality of Thessaloniki, and three members who are representatives from the Holy Community of Mount Athos.  The position of First Vice President is held by one of the council members from the Holy Mountain.
