Papandreou 5. The ArtExpo:"Opportunity4all" exhibitions, which always have a charitable nature, have now become established in the gallery's annual exhibition program, which began almost from the beginning of its establishment and has helped through Art Foundations and Organizations such as The Smile of the Child, The Children's Village in Filyro, The Asylum of the Child, SOTI, ELEPAP. This year will be the sixth year of the exhibition that will last the holiday season from December 9, 2025 to January 2, 2026 and part of the proceeds from sales will be donated to support the Thessaloniki Girls' Orphanage "MELISSA".
"MELISSA" is a Legal Entity of Private Law that was founded in 1921 by decision of the Court of First Instance of Thessaloniki. It began its operation as a Home for the Care and Welfare of Orphans and Destitute Children. It is supervised by the Social Welfare Directorate of the Municipality of Thessaloniki and is subsidized by a small percentage by the Ministry of Health & Social Solidarity through the Region of Central Macedonia. Today, the MELISSA Foundation hosts girls aged 13 to 18, who are removed from an inappropriate family environment by a prosecutor's order and reside with a court decision, which usually assigns custody to it. After reaching adulthood and leaving the institution, the girls are supported by the Association in semi-autonomous living structures.

Natasa Govedarou, visual artist, curator and owner of Govedarou Art Gallery, is co-organizing with psychologist-psychotherapist MSc Mrs. Zoe Georgiadou the thematic group exhibition entitled “Delirium” at the gallery space at G. Papandreou 5. The theme of the exhibition was chosen on the occasion of World Mental Health Day which is on October 10, wanting in this way to awaken the public through art to this serious and now very common mental condition. The opening of the exhibition will take place on Tuesday, October 14 at 18.30 and its duration will be until October 31, 2025. At the opening, psychologist-psychotherapist MSc Mrs. Zoe Georgiadou will talk to us about Delirium.
A few words about Delirium from psychologist-psychotherapist MSc Mrs. Zoe Georgiadou:
"Delirium or acute organic psychosyndrome comes from the Latin word delirare, which means to go astray, to escape from my course and from the real perception of things. It is an acute disorder at the level of consciousness and cognitive functions whose onset is rapid and presents fluctuations during the day. It is characterized by confusion, fluctuations in alertness, disorientation, hallucinations or delusions. It is a subjective experience, which is formed and expressed in a unique way reflecting the person's altered experience of the external environment. According to the American Psychological Association (APA, 2013), it is a delusion, a false belief that does not correspond to reality, which a person possesses unwavering and unable to change, despite conflicting evidence and arguments."

Natasa Govedarou, visual artist, curator and owner of Govedarou Art Gallery, is organizing the solo exhibition of visual artist Stavros Kouimtzis entitled “Scattered Entities” at the gallery space at G. Papandreou 5. The opening will take place on Tuesday, February 11 and will last until February 28.
“Scattered Entities” through the eyes of Stavros Kouimtzis:
“The eternal existence of man on earth with the aim of survival, development, projection, conquest. Persons and personalities alternate in the same distinct roles in the course of history. Power, imposition, submission determine and shape the social pyramid that sometimes sharpens and sometimes softens depending on the times and places.”
A few words from the curator of the exhibition, Natasa Govedarou, about this exhibition:
"The exhibition will take you to other worlds, it will convey allegorical messages and you will feel emotions never seen before through the visual approach of Stavros Kouimtzis! The artist transports us to his own dream world where the entities that inhabit it are literally scattered. Faces without bodies that look more like masks, often interconnected with colorful paths of geometric shapes, sometimes in larger dimensions and sometimes in repeating patterns with incredible detail, characterize most of the artist's major works. The trees, which could also be an inspiration for a science fiction film director, are also indicative of his work. The objects themselves, as well as the background that frames them, are the product of great detail with patterns reminiscent of fractals and require long hours of work and patience from their creator. All eerie!”

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."
