Corfu Arts Foundation

Just discovered this new website (NB site contents seem to have disappeared, "Coming Soon"), of the Corfu Arts Foundation


"The Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England by the Charities Commission. The objects are to promote the performing and visual arts for the public benefit and to support other charities on the island....The Corfu Arts Foundation seeks to regenerate the tradition and appreciation of opera in particular and the performing and visual arts in general. Our aim is to put on operas, concerts, drama, dance and art exhibitions raising money to fund performances in Corfu town and the outlying villages. In addition we are planning to fund a festival (CorfuFest), develop workshops with the Ionian University (the oldest university in Greece with a strong music department) and bring international performers to the island. We also want to sponsor rising young musicians from Corfu to enable them to develop their careers, to develop a September festival, to support performances by the Corfu Chamber Opera and to work with schools to bring the arts directly to the children. Long term our ambition is to build a multi-purpose concert hall to house opera, drama and concerts with funding from major donors".
