MetaxArt Athens Studio is located in the centre of Athens, in Pangrati, a vibrant neighbourhood known for its artistic atmosphere, very good transportation services and 15 – 20 minutes walking distance from Syntagma Square, and the Acropolis Museum. It is the home address of musicians, writers, directors, academics, and journalists with lots of bookstores, coffee shops, small bars, high-end restaurants, and traditional tavernas, close to the National gallery, the Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art and Kallimarmaro Stadium.

The studio offers a welcoming and stimulating environment where participants create their own works while developing technical skills, visual understanding, and confidence through personalised guidance and contemporary teaching methods adapted to the needs and goals of each student.
