The program aimed to establish the importance of artistic events, as a vital tool for the social re-development of the historical city center of Athens and the empowerment of community participation in the arts. Over a period of 2 years, Athens Intersection implemented • 20 exhibitions • 28 visual and sound performances • 20 art installations in store fronts and shops, guided tours and screenings at • 39 locations and 8 buildings within the Athens Commercial Triangle. • 193 local and international artists and • 20 curators participated in the realisation of Athens Intersection's ambitious agenda. Exhibitions and events were developed and hosted within the setting of important historical landmarks of modern Greek architecture ranging from 1860 through the 1930s to the 70s.
In June 2018, Athens Intersection co-organised the 6th International Back to Athens Festival hosting 9 curatorial exhibitions, events and performances with the participation of 75 international artists for 10 days. In June 2019, Athens Intersection provided a 1950's 5-storey building as exhibition space for the 1st Art Athina Summer Popup exhibition.
