Alma gallery has been supporting the modern innovative artistic expression in a consistent, stable and knowledgeable way. In Alma gallery we present, promote and support – in Greece (both in the capital and the rest of the country) and in other international organisations abroad - visual artists, older or younger ones, without drawing dividing lines or categorizing our choices, since these choices stretch and cover openmindedly and freely every form and kind of art. The artist, the work of art and the public constitute the three important elements of the gallery philosophy and policy; a gallery which invests in communication and extroversion; which encourages collaboration and collectivity; which orientates towards and aims at presentating new and original ideas.

In this year's Art Athina, Alma gallery presents works of art by Tasos Misouras, Michael Manousakis, Andreas Vousouras, Irene Matsouki, Zaharias Papantoniou, Martin Donef, Alexandros Maganiotis, Vana Fertaki, Alekos Kourarinis, Kostas Lavdas, Theophilos Katsipanos and Marios Fournaris. Their compositions, in direct conversation with each other, “narrate” stories of personal and collective experiences; they present the images of their personal mythologies; they approach contemporary realities; they refer to dreams, desires and divisions; they raise issues of existential order; they invoke a deeper communication with the viewer; they offer a world where different ways and routes of expression meet and converse – a world which distinguishes for its truth and quality, its aesthetic values and , at the same time, for the internal wealth, the dynamics, the special atmosphere, the diverse references, its messages and its symbols.
