The Breeder gallery was formed organically from The Breeder magazine in 2002, out of the need of a few Athenian artists for international dialogue. Over the last seventeen years The Breeder has been a pioneer in the development of the contemporary art scene in Athens. In 2008 the gallery moved to masterfully renovated factory from the 1970s in the centre of Athens. One of the main goals of the gallery is to dynamically promote a select group of emerging Greek artists on the global arena and show cutting edge international artists in the city of Athens. We show art that is relevant to our times interestingly political and even radical sometimes. The Breeder is a platform for artists of all nationalities, genders, socioeconomic background colour and religion to express themselves. We are non polarising and non binary and we can have all this freedom through funding from sales of the art that we show. Throughout 2013 The Breeder operated a pop-up gallery space in Monte Carlo, Monaco. In June 2015 The Breeder inaugurated a residency program. The Breeder gallery and The Breeder Residency serve as a link connecting cultures and supporting a deeper understanding and exchange, supporting the community providing an active platform for the free exchange of ideas and ideals in regards to contemporary art production.
