This exhibition, with notable works of art by eight artists from Greece, is the result of Penelope Bistaros’ ten-year personal odyssey of discovery and adventure on the Greek islands and mainland. At the age of twenty-three, she embarked on a journey to the “patrida” (homeland) of her parents and ancestors, to learn about her Greek roots and heritage. The discovery of such a rich history and heritage enthralled and inspired her to begin collecting examples to bring to Australia for the enrichment and appreciation of all. This passion became a dream, and six years on it has become a reality.
