Podcasts, Symi Art Exhibitions, & the darker side of Symi

August has been a busy month, and September looks to be the same. The Symi Podcast #9 and The Symi Podcast #10 were released by Athan from Athens, and returning guest DJ, Beanie G. Both have been very popular, so I think we have 2 returning Dj's for future episodes. An unpopular website here is also publishing a podcast under the same name due to stealing my original work for hits. I cannot distance myself enough from 'their' work. This is not the original Symi Podcast, and I certainly wouldn't want what they do to be labelled as anything to do with me from the original 5 podcasts they continue to list. The first 5 they do list help my ratings, but anything after this is not originally from The Symi Podcast.

Also this month, Paul Anderson will be the second exhibitor at The Symi Gallery. Starting from the 11th of September, Paul's work will be in the gallery one month. His work is very colourful, so if you're on Symi, drop by and have a look. The gallery is on the ground floor of the Symi Visitor (bottom of the'Lazy Steps') More information will appear about his exhibition, and future ones too.

Lastly, have you ever searched 'Symi' on ITunes. There is an album by Marco 'Polo' Cecere, called 'Passport to Paradise'. On the album is a track called 'The Dark Side of Symi'. Have a listen. It's actually very upbeat, and the album as a whole is a nice listen.

For those of you wondering what the picture is above. It was taken last month at St Emelianos. This is the Grandson of my landlord, and he decided to do a bit of fishing.

Art on Symi in Horio and Yialos.

The Symi Gallery - Yialos, Symi

It's all about art and artists this month here on Symi. Firstly, on Friday 7th August was the inaugural exhibition of the new Symi Gallery on the ground floor of the Symi Visitor. A space which is full of character and perfect for artists to exhibit their work. The exhibition was of work done by local artist Haycox. A very busy evening with both local and tourists coming through the door for the 4 hour opening. What's good about the Symi Gallery is it is planned to be an all round the year exhibition centre. The gallery is already booked till December with the Haycox work being shown until September 8th. Look out for details of which artist is exhibiting next.





ODAS Exhibition | Symi Dream Gallery - Horio, Symi

On the 8th of August the annual ODAS Exhibition was opened at the Symi Dream gallery in the village. The event showcases work by local artists and gives an insight into the varied talents of those living here. Once again the opening was a well turned out event and will run until the 24th August when the "Diversity in Symi Art" Exhibition returns. So if you're in the village, the Symi Dream Gallery is just a few steps down the Kali Strata from the main Syllagos square. Well worth a visit. Further information, pictures can be found using the links below.

Symi Skies - June 2009

Cooling winds, and lower than expected temperatures has created some nice relief as the month draws to an end. Some cloud cover has cleared now, but not before providing some amazing formations two evenings ago. It's been a busy month on the island, and the season is well and truly underway. The Symi Art Exhibition on the Kali Strata was attended by over 250 people on the opening night. Quite something when you consider the island population is 3000.

They'll be more about Exhibitions coming soon. Something good for Symi, especially when so many artists are drawn here for it's unique architecture, colour and location. Stay tuned.

From the 19th of June, an exhibition is taking place at the Symi Dream Gallery, on the kali Strata. The exhibition is to illustrate the creative diversity here on Symi. It will run all through the summer till the end of October, and as always admission is free. So if you have some spare time on your hands, it's well worth a visit.
