We love contemporary art. Art that innovates, captivates and confronts. Art that understands our times and is not afraid to rock the boat. In line with [N.A!]’s core values, we support art that connects with nature, the environment, global trends, biodiversity, food and the human element.

We believe art can make us engage more with these topics. We see ourselves as an incubator of ideas, projects, and debate. A convener. We support artists who bring the public on a journey and transform their perspective through their works, installations and performances. We believe in art as a means to inspire and act.

We stand with artists to contribute to a positive and guilt-free approach rooted in expert knowledge and in the artist’s sensitive and alternative vision. Through this combination of awakening and wonder, our goal is to foster debate and nourish our future through art.

[N.A!] Project is of course an eco-responsible organisation. Frugality is one of our rules. We print as little as possible and mostly focus on online visibility. We keep travel to a minimum and limit the carbon footprint of our activities.

Our planet is in danger. The threat is so great it has become reality. We are plundering the Earth without replacing what we take and the devastating effects of human activity on the planet are snowballing, with millions of people already experiencing grave consequences. The ensuing migration brings its daily share of tragedies and there seems to be worse to come. Change is urgently needed. Society needs a new model. Political intervention will not suffice. We must each be our own revolution, and we intend to do our part.

We are Nature Addicts, a food brand that believes that art is food too. We choose to raise consciousness and engage the public through the power of art. With science and their own creativity on their side, artists have the power to confront, move, convene and speak to each and every one of us, young and old. Art alone won’t save us but it can enlighten our present and imagine the future.

We have been actively supporting artists for years through a more contemporary form of corporate sponsorship that goes way beyond funding alone and is a long-term commitment. We are not building a corporate art collection. We act mainly by supporting artists’ projects, hence our name. All these projects are aligned with our goal as a corporate citizen and patron of the arts. We study each project from its conception, with its creator, and some projects last several years. They eventually come to an end, but our close ties with the artist remain. Once an [N.A!] Project artist, always an [N.A!] Project artist.

Over the years we have built a network of artists all over Europe, and it is important to us that they meet, interact and intersect. This is why we regularly invite two, four or ten artists to our roaming events, which can be academies, residencies, pop-up spaces or attending a festival. We call them our Escales.

Lastly, because we know the artists and the art scene, [N.A!] Project is also a co-producer of all these projects.

This ancient city west of Athens has a long history as an industrial port. In Elefsina, Greek statues stand against a backdrop of abandoned factories and chimneys, its landscape forever changed by industrialisation. Yet the city retains many traces of a more ancient past, rich in mythology, with a strong tradition of hospitality towards foreigners, refugees in the past and tourists today. The city has a vibrant culture with many events throughout the year.

Thanks to this, plus its heritage and determination, Elefsina won the title of European Capital of Culture 2021, with support from [N.A!] Project among others. Elefsina aims to become a model for other cities and despite Greece’s economic crisis, it continues to invest in culture as a way to attract people to the city but mainly for the wellbeing of city residents. Environmental protection is at the core of the city’s development plans, which include building a smart city focused on sustainable development and social cohesion, making it a natural choice for [N.A!] Project’s 2017 Academy.
