Last Monday it was the opening night of the art exhibition I participate along 15 more painters from Naxos! It is the first time that such an event takes place in Greece, and the night was very emotional and fun.

It is a fact that since this was the first effort to gather all Naxian painters in Athens and the organizers were politicians for the most part, there were a few challenges we had to face varying from practical difficulties to the promotion and catering of the event. But Naxians have a secret weapon in all events they organize; raki.

Raki is the traditional homemade drink from grapes that has way more than 40% alcohol and everyone get really happy really fast. After a couple of shots, my friends who weren't used to it got seriously happy. They were laughing hysterically all the time, not without reason of course. I will save the catchy lines that were dropped there and there for a future post. For now I will stick to art ...and Steemit.

Apart from the fact that all artworks I exhibited were all published for the 1st time on Steemit, to promote the platform instead of regular name tags I used a username tag with the Steemit logo that @onceuponatime made for me to wear at Steemfest. ( Dear @onceuponatime the painting I made for you was one of the most popular paintings in the exhibition :) so I had to tell them it's sold to a Canadian collector :) )

In the CV circulated around newspapers and naxian blogs I referred to my Steemit blog as they main place to find my art and in few weeks time I will give a radio interview about art on Steemit, and how to use this blockchain to promote your art.

In fact all artists were awed by the possibilities provided by Steemit, the blockchain and the cryptoworld. To be honest I don't believe they understood 1/3 of what I said but they all searched for my Steemit profile and the posts I've made on my work and will definitely look into it.

Anyway, enough with words. Below you'll find some photos from the exhibition.
