KALAMITSI ARTS GROUP
Kalamitsi Arts Group, whose aim is to present cultural events in western Crete, is organised by Francesca and Phil Harrison. They are both artists - she a painter, he a musician - and they draw on their own past experiences and the fellow artists whom they have befriended over time to deliver a programme which sometimes has a very local focus but equally can be very international. All their events are advertised on their two mailing lists: a public one and one which is for 'Friends of K.A.G.' only (see 'K.A.G. Friends' page for details).
The New Year is here and we've begun arranging our 2026 events. Film Nights re-started on Tuesday 13th January and out first talk of the winter season is planned for 10th February.
Looking further ahead, in April, our very talented musical friends John and Lipethiso Harris will be back with their unquie blend of African and Irish music. Celebrated saxophonist Tim Whitehead also intends to return in the spring, as do singer /songwriter Rebecca Hollweg and her amazing bass player husband Andy Hamill. Plus, of course, we'll have some music and entertainment from our talented friends based here in Crete.
We will be continuing our early evening cocktails, canapés and music during spring and summer in the garden but with a new twist.
Roy and Kate Cooper are already designing another fabulous spring Treasure Hunt.
In September the poet Roger McGough will be back with us for two fabulous and very different events.
Finally, following the success of the last one, we also plan to organise another Variety Show in 2026.
We will, as always, keep you informed of events organised by others that we think might interest you.
