It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 1st International Photography Gathering of Kalamata.
This event represents the realization of a dream and the tireless work of many people who believed that Kalamata could become a significant meeting place for the art of photography.
The organization of this Gathering would not have been possible without the undivided support and dedication of many individuals.
I wish to express my warmest thanks to Yiorgos and Aggeliki Arvaniti, who,with their trust, stood by our side from the very first moment, helping to transform an idea into reality.
The organizer of this initiative is the Kalamata Photography Association, an association that serves the vision of creation, exchange, and progress.
The future we envision is dynamic and open. Our goal is for this meeting to mark the beginning of an annual engagement with the art of photography, one that will put Kalamata on the international photographic map.
We hope the images presented at the event as well the artists, will inspire you.
Nikos Iliopoulos
President of the Kalamata Photography Association
