PARTNERS

ΝΕΟΝ collaborates with the Greek National Opera and presents the project The Artist on the Composer, curated by Giorgos Koumendakis, GNO Artistic Director and Elina Kountouri, NEON Director. Focusing on the relationship between visual arts and opera the project connects contemporary artists with classical music and opera to forge a singular synergy of different art forms within a single unified whole.

Since 2012, NEON and the Whitechapel Gallery have partner to create a continuing cultural dialogue between Greece and the UK, through the annual Curatorial Exchange program and Curatorial Award, and co-presenting exhibitions in public spaces in Athens.

For eight consecutive years, NEON and its founder, entrepreneur and collector Dimitris Daskalopoulos, exclusively funded the activities of Outset Greece, an annex of the international cultural organization Outset Contemporary Art Fund.

Since 2013, NEON presents at the Museum of Cycladic Art works of international contemporary artists, through exhibitions and educational programs: Martin Kippenberger: A Cry for Freedom (2013-2014), Mario Merz: Numbers are Prehistoric (2015-2016), Mike Kelley: Fortress of Solitude (2017-2018), Paul Chan: Odysseus and the Bathers (2018), Lynda Benglis: In the Realm of the Senses (2019-2020)

ΝΕΟΝ in partnership with the Hellenic Children’s Museum developed and realized ‘Is this Art?’, the first educational program of its kind in Greece. From March 2014 to present, the program has been introducing high school students in Attica to a variety of contemporary art forms and their creators.

NEON has supported the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) since 2012, and is committed to making further contributions to facilitate its operation and sustainability.
