After living in Greece for a year and discovering the wealth of talented local Greek artists who were well known in Greece, but largely unknown internationally, I realized there was a vast amount of undiscovered contemporary artwork that I wanted to share with the rest of the world.
 

As a vehicle to share these artists with the United States, I opened my own shop, Aegean Affair, in San Diego, California, which featured some of these artists. Once open, I found it impossible to reach existing Greek artists abroad and to discover new ones using the web. I also became aware of the limitations of a retail shop and recognized I could present more artists to more people through this internet guide directly from Greece. Kelly's Greek Shopping Guide is a great resource for individuals and businesses looking to aquire original Greek contemporary art, as the guide features some of the most nationwide recognized names.

Many of these artists have agreed to allow those who mention this site direct access to their studio, a viewing of the production, a non-retail purchasing environment, and a special discount on your purchase of their works. I'm constantly seeking new talents and traveling throughout Greece to meet them personally. The guide is updated daily with new information.

I hope you use this guide to plan your itinerary and take you through a Greece you would not ordinarily see.
