Unlike traditional organizations, "A Collective of Collectives" operates without a centralized authority. The platform serves as a hub where collectives and artist run spaces can connect, share resources, and collaborate on projects, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.



This year the CC festival is taking place from 2 to 12 of October 2025 and includes the following art spaces:

Amoralite
AMORALITE is a collective of multidisciplinary artists that aspire to create spaces of diverse artistic expression that marries harmonically sight and sound. It is a cultural and vanguardist proposal that blends he underground club culture and art.
Big Table
Big Table was born in December 2022 and has since evolved into a multiform, collective, artist-run space. Most of the time it functions as a studio, a shared work space, crowded with tables of various sizes (rather big) supporting a mix of practices. Sometimes the tables are crammed in a corner. Once free, its 200m2 baby blue floor turns into an event space for live performances, screenings, exhibitions, dinners or parties. True to its name, Big Table merges time and space. It fosters collaboration, supports ideas and desires, and —like any table— invites others in, creating circularity and a sense of community.
Cherry’s
Collaborative artists are welcome to visit Cherry's, a cozy room where the embroidery machine lives. Artist Aliki Pavli offers free embroidery samples of artwork. Small monograms and pre-designed embroidery is done on-site at the event.

Driven by a commitment to inclusivity and community, its primary goal is to foster horizontal relationships that bridge individuals and networks from various fields, professions, and backgrounds as well as to promote emerging and under-represented artists. It aims to cultivate a vibrant and open environment where artists, thinkers, and audiences can engage with art that challenges, inspires, and connects people across different genders, ethnicities, classes, and interests.
