Art works for Greek Diaspora exhibit in the Hamptons, New York

SOUTHAMPTON, NY – The “Art Works for Diaspora” exhibit by renowned artist Philip Tsiaras was launched in the Muses/Nicolas S. Zoulas Hellenic Center of the Kimisis of the Mother of God parish in Southampton, NY. Among those attending were John Catsimatidis and his wife, Margo, Dr. George Korkos, and Greta Kamateros.

Tsiaras’ art is exhibited in many galleries and also at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Rev. Alex Karloutsos, presiding priest of the Kimisis parish, told TNH that “we are trying to show the art of the Hellenes of the Diaspora projecting our Hellenic roots and give the opportunity not only to the Greeks of America but members of the broader Hamptons community to come and see.”

The exhibit will run through September. Fr. Karloutsos said that “on August 26 we are going to have the Blue Dream event, during which we are going to honor the Lonely Whale Foundation and the Navy Seals who protect us; it is going to be nice. We are going to donate $100 to each.”

Karloutsos praised artist Philip Tsiaras. He said that “he comes from New Hampshire, he is famous; his works are at Metropolitan Museum. Very few can reach those heights that Philip has reached.”
