Natasa Govedarou, visual artist, curator and owner of Govedarou Art Gallery, organizes the group exhibition 5th ArtExpo: "Opportunity4all" at the gallery space at G.Papandreou 5, in collaboration with ELEPAP in Thessaloniki (GREEK SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION AND REHABILITATION OF DISABLED PERSONS). The ArtExpo:”Opportunity4all” exhibitions, which always have a charitable character, return to the annual exhibition program of the gallery that started almost from the beginning of its establishment and has helped through Art Foundations and Organizations. This year will be the fifth year of the exhibition that will last the holiday season from December 12, 2024 to January 3, 2025 and part of the sales revenue will be given to support the ELEPAP Branch in Thessaloniki.
For 55 consecutive years, ELEPAP in Thessaloniki has been standing next to children and young people with disabilities in Northern Greece who are really in need.
The specialized staff of ELEPAP Thessaloniki continues seamlessly to offer comprehensive therapeutic, rehabilitative and educational programs of the highest quality, aiming to improve the everyday life of Brave Children and to achieve their autonomy.
The following is the statement of ELEPAP President, Pediatric Neurologist Dr. Helen N. Skoutelis:
"On behalf of all the members of the Board of Directors of ELEPAP, I would like to warmly thank Mrs. Natasa Govedarou for her kind initiative to organize at the Govedarou Art Gallery, another interesting group exhibition of works of art, in order to support the Branch of ELEPAP in Thessaloniki. ELEPAP will be close to Ms. Natasa Govedarou, supporting her great effort to collect and distribute works of art for a good cause. Art sensitizes and mobilizes people, stimulates the mind and emotion, shapes cultures and cultivates our mind and soul. It is very important that through the love for art, the long-term work of ELEPAP will be promoted and strengthened, specifically the ELEPAP Branch in Thessaloniki, which for 55 years, in the wider area of Northern Greece, embraces children and young people with disabilities."
