The association
A cultural association in Nicosia
ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΤΙΚΟΣ ΚΙΝΗΣΗ EX-ARTIS brings together people who believe culture belongs in everyday life — in shared places, open landscapes, and conversations between neighbours. Its name, Latin for “out of art”, describes the idea at its core: that community and dialogue can grow out of artistic work.

Mission & vision
“EX-ARTIS is a cultural association dedicated to supporting cultural expression, creative participation, artistic exchange, and community engagement. Through cultural activities, collaborative projects, and opportunities for public participation, the association seeks to encourage creativity, preserve cultural connections, and strengthen the role of culture in everyday community life.”
Vision
A Cyprus where culture is part of everyday life — present in public spaces and landscapes, open to every community on the island, and shaped by the people who take part in it.
