ABOUT:

Outset Greece aims to support and promote cultural organizations, museums and artists by offering crucial funding support, while also activating networks and initiating new relationships and partnerships.

Outset Greece focuses on:

1. Leading innovative initiatives that strengthen contemporary practices on a global scale
2. Supporting local Greek contemporary visual art and facilitating artists to realise their visions 
3. Utilizing Outset’s international network to build synergies and collaborations

Outset Greece was founded in 2012 as a non-profit organization by Elina Kountouri, with the support of the entrepreneur-collector Dimitris Daskalopoulos.

It has provided funds to 116 institutions and individuals for the implementation of exhibitions, performances, contemporary dance productions and residency programmes in Greece and abroad, strengthening and promoting the work of gifted Greek artists. In 2021, Artemis Stamatiadis was appointed director, bringing her rich experience in arts organizations, to the role.
