Christmas Tree inside the Onassis Center, January 2008

In carrying out the mission of the Onassis Foundation (USA), the Onassis Cultural Center, opened in Fall 2000, is the venue for presenting cultural and artistic activities concerning ancient, Byzantine and modern Hellenic civilization. Invited participants may be Greeks and non-Greeks inspired by Hellenism. Activities include art exhibitions, theatrical and dance performances, musical events, lectures, poetry readings and film screenings. Following their presentation at the Onassis Cultural Center, these activities may tour other cultural and art institutions in the United States and Canada.
