“Colourful flowers blooming in the Museum” | Exhibition of children's works

The Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation presents the children's exhibition "Colourful flowers blooming in the Museum", in the Chios Mastic Museum. The exhibition includes the ceramics created by the children who participated in the workshop "Young Artists in Action", organized by the Foundation in January 2025, with the visual artist Kalliopi Liadi as a facilitator. 

Drawing inspiration from the unique sculptures by the globally acclaimed Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, titled Flowers that Bloom at Midnight, the young artists created their own clay flowers with intense patterns and vibrant colours. Incorporating features of Kusama's art into their works, the children captured the beauty and power of flowers by giving their own original interpretations. 

The children’s works will be hosted in the permanent exhibition of the Chios Mastic Museum, at the exhibition unit titled “Work in the field”.
