There s a new Athens cultural hub - the former Tobacco Factory on Lenorman Street

29 June 2021 11:10am The transformation of Athens’ former Public Tobacco Factory into a Cultural Centre is the talk of the town nowadays, as the renovation of the historic building – which is located in the heart of the city (218 Lenorman Street) – was recently completed. The factory reopened its doors to the public as a vast contemporary art space on 11 June with a grand show on the COVID-19 pandemic, titled “Portals” which will run through to 31 December. The ambitious restoration project is the result of a collaboration between the Hellenic Parliament and the nonprofit contemporary art organization NEON within the framework of the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence.

Following the €1m restoration and a large-scale exhibition in 2021, it will be gifted back to the state to use as a cultural centre. The Lenorman Street Tobacco Factory currently lies half unused while the other half houses the library of the Hellenic Parliament. Following the financial crisis in Greece from late-2009, many large buildings in the city were abandoned. Collaborative initiatives like this means that such spaces can be updated with minimal cost to the state particularly important given the lack of government funds available for such projects in a post-pandemic world.
