Moreover, a large part of Humanity remains completely indifferent, in matters of Ethical, Spiritual and Essential Human Communication… Knowing that without Emotionally Healthy People it is impossible to build a Healthy Peaceful and Democratic Society, the question that needs immediate answer is what measures should we take, especially in the field of Mental Health, Education and Culture, to prevent the worst… In 2020, in Centre of Arts 4 Seasons - AthensArt, we continued to share our clothes, books, artworks, olives, olive oil, honey, eggs and various agricultural products, from our Centre, to refugees, unemployed, homeless and poor, collaborating with the Social Kitchen “The Other Human” and the Church of St. Andreas in Ag. Paraskevi. We continued also our collaboration with the National Nursery School of Kallithea-Athens, that offers a loving embrace to children who have serious problems in their family environment and who lack the necessary care and protection, and with the Avlona Prison for Minors and Young Offenders, supporting especially their high school students that have decided to start their life, and overcome the traumas of their past, created by their environment, leading them to prison. Our Molly became for the second time mother, giving birth to two beautiful puppies, the number of our chicken and bees has been increased and a small and playful cat “Patsi” was added. Our AthensArt Groups are always available to anyone who wishes to share his/her thoughts. In the “e-catalogue” tab, everyone can find all e-catalogues from our previous International Exhibitions, in “Blogs”, as always, we keep our members informed about the events of all AthensArt members and in “Announcements” we publish information about other events that come to our knowledge, organized by cultural organizations all over the World. We continue to change, from time to time, our Site’s Head, selecting artworks from the most active members, and we publish in the Home Page words of wisdom from East and West. We also continue to be present in Facebook, with every day comments, promoting the idea of Friendship through Art that can change our World peacefully. Our AthensArt International Arts Festival 2020 in New Jersey / USA, on the theme “Greek Women: Then and Now” which is organized in collaboration with Kean University, as well as our Events in the city of Ascoli Pisceno / Italy, Technopolis / Athens, the Municipality of Vironas / Athens, and the island of Sifnos / Greece, had to be postponed due to pandemic. However, trying to find other solutions to be connected, we created a 3D online Gallery that we plan to use for all our Events. We wish all our AthensArt members and Friends a Happy and Creative New Year 2021, honoring always Truth, without hating those who lie, developing also essential relations with ourselves, our fellowmen and our societies. With Love and Friendship, yours, Takis, Chairman CA4S- AthensArt.
