Pharos Arts Foundation Cyprus

We seek to provide programmes that inspire a passion for the arts and reinforce a general understanding of its vital role in a healthy, ethical, and productive society. Knowledge and culture create successful societies. To ensure our programmes are always inspiring and exciting for the young and reach a wide audience through community outreach and exposure to special needs groups. To ensure that, through careful planning and sponsorship management, Pharos’ two festivals will continue on an annual basis for many years to come, enriching our society and promoting Cyprus as a cultural destination of the highest level. To present some of the most renowned artists in the world but also identify and endorse emerging young talent from Cyprus and abroad; to offer them residencies, as well as performing opportunities in Pharos’ unique venues. To offer young people and students from all communities the opportunity to meet visiting artists and scholars. To deepen their appreciation of different music styles and genres, and expand their knowledge on cultural issues of global importance. Our ultimate vision is to create a world class centre for the visual and performing arts in an exquisite rural setting where musicians, composers, visual artists and writers are inspired to create new work. The venue will become the main home of Pharos’ events and two international festivals.
