We traveled up to Athens this weekend to chat with the good folks at ATHICA. Here I talk with president and artistic director Lizzie Zucker Saltz about the genesis of the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art, its mission and their current show, “Mission Accomplished.” This is one of three parts. Coming up I have interviews with artists Cecelia Kane and Jimbo Buonaccorsi.

There is an artists and curators Walk and Talk on Thursday, Sept. 2 from 7-8 p.m. at ATHICA. “Mission Accomplished” will be on display at ATHICA through Sept. 26.
