The Panhellenic Art Exhibition was an institution of the 20th century, organized in four periods:
- at the beginning of the century, under the name Panhellenic Exhibition of the Association of Greek Artists (1910–1916),
- from 1938 to 1940, the first annual Panhellenic Exhibition organized by the Ministry of Education, but due to World War II, the exhibition resumed post-war,
- from 1948 to 1975, as the "quintessential post-war art event".[1]
- In 1987, during the tenure of Melina Mercouri as minister of culture.
The exhibition took place at the Zappeion Hall in Athens and was organized by the Greek State (the Ministry of Education until 1971 and the Ministry of Culture in 1973 and 1975), while the 1987 exhibition was held at the Piraeus Port Authority Exhibition Center.[2]
