Artistic Village Contemporary Art - Art gallery & Museum of Ceramic Art

The Artistic Village is a family business. The founder and creator of the Artistic Village is Nikolas I. Simiakos. The Artistic Village has been operating since 1984 and we try to highlight various aspects of modern craftsmanship and culture. In the welcoming 600 sq. Metre art gallery you will be able to see innovative art works, ornaments, sculptures, special designs and compositions made from clay, glass, wood, bronze, iron, aluminium and other materials. Any of these pieces would be the perfect choice for a novel gift. Also, in the art gallery/studio, you can see original pictures which will make any space - personal or professional - look its best. The Artistic Village is home to the first museum where visitors can explore the past and learn about the art of ceramics from its beginnings to the present day. Entrance is free. Professionalism, imagination, distinctiveness, uniqueness and our love for the best are our "gold standard" for our long term success. Pay us a visit and discover our collections. The Artistic Village is on the eastern coast of the beautiful island of Rhodes, a few kilometres(20 Km) outside Rhodes town. It is easily reached from anywhere in the town by taking the national road from Rhodes Town to Lindos. Rhodes' "Diagoras" airport is only a 30 minute drive from the village, and Rhodes Town and the harbour are a similar distance away. You will find the Artistic Village between cosmopolitan Afantou and the tourist area of Kolymbia. The ample parking space, and the many outdoor relaxation areas in this beautiful and very pleasant environment, are only some of the facilities on offer to visitors to the Artistic Village.

The family have produced a superb display of three dimensional art, all of which is for sale. The family do not work solely in ceramics, incorporating wire and other material into their art. There is plenty of choice and there are items for sale that will suit all pockets. The family have a number of signature items, of particular note are the olive branches / trees which are wall art, using a combination of ceramic and wire. They are no larger than approx 35cm square and look attractive on any wall. There are also bowls, platters, dishes and many other items. I would be surprised if you leave without buying something.

Such a lovely place!!! It has a fantastic shop window, decorated with ballerinas and exquisite perfume bottles! I purchased perfumes, body lotions and body oils for me, my family and as gifts for my friends. The quality is excellent and we were stunned when the next day the perfume was still on our skin and clothes! I recommend that you visit the shop or order the perfumes from their eshop because you will never want to buy perfumes from anywhere else! :D

Takis has an unique talent & his work should be on show in places such as London, Paris, Milan & New York. The problem with that would be I wouldn't be able to afford to buy any of his original pieces. Takis is also a true gentleman with a smile & time for all.
