Municipal Art Gallery: New Year cake and new projects

There was a double event at the Municipal Art Gallery’s Art Café on Sunday afternoon. Along with the traditional cutting of the New Year cake, the gallery launched its latest activity - a well-organized sales area with all types of products – prints, jewellery, accessories, toys and books – based on the gallery’s collections and exhibits.
These products will now be available on a permanent basis, connecting art with everyday life whilst also providing visitors with ideas for gifts.

The sales will start off with a range of products, from cards to bookmarks, with works from the gallery’s permanent collection. There will also be cards, bookmarks and rulers produced by children in the educational programme ‘One Saturday, One fairy tale’, as well as badges, magnets, wooden cases with water paints and of course books published by the gallery.

The director of the gallery, Leonidas Pagratis, stressed the importance of the commitment the Minister of Culture made when she was in Corfu, to transfer the management of the Art Café to the Municipality of Corfu.
