Anazitites Theatrou ( Fix in art)

Who we are
Fix In Art is a cultural space which hosts events and actions across the whole
spectrum of the arts from theatre, dance, music, cinema and the visual arts to
digital and hybrid art and the written word.
It showcases contemporary cultural expression, supports artists from all over the
world, cultivates international collaborations, explores the boundaries between
science, art and society, and promotes lifelong learning for people of all ages.
Our non-profit organization has been active since 2011. The purpose of the organization
is to contribute to get the performing arts center position in education (formal or no-
formal) and also to contribute to the search of approaches and techniques for theater as
an art form and as educational tool. The organization places great emphasis on the
development of educational and cultural projects in the promotion of non-formal and
informal education, social and creative entrepreneurship and networking between
organizations, to share experiences and enhance their potential. Our vision is the
Revival of old FIX factory, a landmark and historical monument of 24 000 sq.m. into a
creativity idea factory that will foster all kinds of art. We are already using 1200 sq.m.
which we restored and brought back to life, we are in the process of renting 2000 sq.m.
more, and we plan to restore it and transform it into workshop areas and in the first
academy of technical circus in Greece in collaboration with Professors from Aristotle

trying to reach a point that our project will be zero waste, as well as all the activities we

The objectives of the organization accelerated through the implementation of regional
and international actions, always with the initiative and participation of young people in
all stages of operations. The projects of the association are innovative and provide a
variety of learning opportunities in the educational activity.
In the association there is not always employed paid staff, but works with the support of
youth volunteers. Volunteers are people from all social and cultural classes, without any
distinction, and are also the target group of the organization. Members of the
organization include people who have experience and expertise in the organization,
implementation and monitoring of festivals, conferences, bilateral and multilateral
projects, but also people with a university education, including Education and Social
Policy graduates: Adult Education (Specialist in Continuing education and Consulting),
Law, Psychology, Literature, Social Worker and other specialties that are necessary
when one deals with young people.
The organization is located in Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece, a city of
one million with the largest number of youngsters due to many universities that exist in
the city. The city in history has been the crossroads of cultures and movements, with a
strong position on the world map. Also in modern history has been the capital of culture
and youth, leaving a rich legacy to future generations, but also a great obligation to
continue to respond to what has been build so far.
