What is Creative-in-Athens?
Creative-in-Athens is Greece's new exhibition dedicated to Craft, Design, Art, and Creative Expression, bringing together creators, professionals, businesses, and enthusiasts with a shared passion for creativity, materials, techniques, and their contemporary applications.
From materials and tools to handcrafted objects, collectible design, the applied arts, and creative education, the exhibition creates a dynamic ecosystem for inspiration, collaboration, and meaningful connections.
Creative-in-Athens is designed for both professionals and passionate hobbyists—for everyone seeking new ideas, innovative techniques, and creative inspiration, as well as those who want to experience the world of making through hands-on activities and direct interaction with the materials and the people behind them.

Join a New Creative Platform
Creative-in-Athens is far more than a trade exhibition. It is a dynamic platform that connects materials, creators, knowledge, and experiences, creating new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and business growth.
Why visit
Creativity is more than inspiration. It is the materials you work with, the techniques you discover, the people you meet, and the ideas that take shape.
Creative-in-Athens was created to bring all of these elements together in one place. For two days, the Old OSY Depot in Gazi becomes Greece's largest gathering for contemporary creativity, bringing together the worlds of Craft, Fine Art, Design, and DIY.

In the Creative Makers section, a carefully curated selection of makers, designers, artists, and craftspeople present their work, share their stories, and demonstrate that every handmade object reflects creativity, skill, and personal expression.
Learn New Techniques
Through Creative Labs and the Creative Academy, visitors can participate in hands-on workshops, live demonstrations, material presentations, and masterclasses designed to introduce new techniques, explore innovative applications, and help develop practical creative skills.
Find Inspiration
Creative-in-Athens is far more than a product exhibition. It is a vibrant environment filled with ideas, colours, textures, materials, and people who create every day. Whether you are a professional creative or simply passionate about making things with your own hands, you'll find endless inspiration around every corner.

Creative-in-Athens brings together creators, designers, artists, businesses, educational institutions, creative studios, and visitors from across Greece.

Creating means giving shape to your ideas.
Creative-in-Athens is where those ideas come together.
"You don't have to be a professional creator to belong at Creative-in-Athens. All you need is the belief that the best ideas are born when imagination meets the hands that bring them to life."

The Creative-in-Athens experience extends far beyond the exhibition floor.
Its Parallel Events are an integral part of the exhibition, offering visitors the opportunity to discover new techniques, experiment with contemporary materials, watch leading creators at work, and stay up to date with the latest trends and developments across the worlds of Craft, Design, and the Applied Arts.
