PCAI Polygreen Culture & Art Initiative

Polygreen Culture & Art Initiative (PCAI) is a nonprofit organization, founded by Athanasios Polychronopoulos, Polygreen CEO, as a means to increase environmental awareness through an annual program of commissions, contemporary art exhibitions, art residencies, workshops, conferences and events. The organisation implements its objectives though three areas of activity: its mainly commissioned-based art collection, its annual program of cultural projects and the support it offers to artistic initiatives and artists sharing its environmental concerns. In 2019 Kika Kyriakakou, PCAI’s artistic director, initiated the organisation’s artist-in-residence program with a residency jury of esteemed members like Hans Ulrich Obrist, Serpentine Galleries artistic director, and Krist Gruijthuijsen, KW Institute Director. In 2021 PCAI became an official nominator for the Earthshot Prize, the significant environmental award established by the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
