The Greek Orthodox Community of South Australia (GOCSA) is set to mark the 16th anniversary of its Odyssey Festival, a prominent event in Adelaide’s cultural calendar.

From Friday, October 6 to Sunday, November 12, 2023, the festival will showcase a diverse program of cultural and artistic events that celebrate Greek heritage.

One of the highlights of the festival is the Odyssey Art Prize 2023, which invites South Australian artists to participate.

This year’s theme, “Flavours of Greece,” encourages artists involved in visual arts, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photo printing, mixed media, digital art, and video, to showcase their talent.

The first-place winner of the Odyssey Art Prize will be awarded $1000, while the second and third-place winners will receive $600 and $400, respectively.

This prize not only provides recognition for the artists’ work but also offers a platform to showcase their creativity and engage with the broader community.

The Odyssey Festival has become a cherished tradition within the GOCSA, fostering cultural exchange and promoting artistic expression.

Artists interested in participating in the Odyssey Art Prize 2023 can apply and seize the opportunity to contribute to the celebration of Greek culture in South Australia.
