I?ve attended a few of literary events at the Dikeou Collection over the last year or so and it?s always been a first-rate experience.

All of the artwork contributes to a high-minded, yet hip atmosphere in which the events are held. It also offers a great entry point into the world of contemporary art for the unfamiliar.
