The ARC -Art Revisited Collective is a collective founded in May 2018 by visual artists and the Athenian visual arts curator Paris Kapralos. It soon included members from various parts of Greece and Cyprus. The collective is independent and self-funded. It presents a variety of actions, organizes its own exhibitions, participates in international organizations, and occasionally collaborates with other groups, collectives, curators, venues, as well as artists from all over the art world and the globe. The collective encompasses every kind and style of art. Most members, including its co-founding curator, had significant personal trajectories in the art field before starting it as a collective vehicle. Through it, they unite their forces in common projects and often respond in their own way, individually and collectively, to the challenges of the times.
