MOUSON KAINOPRAGIA 2026
Honorary Awards – Three nights of memory, continuity, and inspiration
The MOUSON KAINOPRAGIA institution, which has continuously served since 2004 the connection between art, education, society, and emerging creativity, returns in March 2026 with three special evenings dedicated to individuals who have left a meaningful imprint on contemporary Greek culture.
Historically initiated with the TERPSICHORE Award and gradually evolving into a constellation of distinct honorary distinctions, the awards of MOUSON KAINOPRAGIA recognize not only artistic excellence, but also an educational way of life, social responsibility, and the intergenerational transmission of experience.
