The Pharos Arts Foundation is a Cyprus-based, non-profit cultural and educational organisation. Inaugurated in 1998, Pharos was the first active exponent of classical / chamber music in Cyprus, and it has been a remarkable pioneer in shaping the country’s cultural infrastructure: It was the Foundation that initiated in Cyprus the first ever chamber music festival, the first ever contemporary music festival, the first music-education program, as well as the first truly contemporary art-space. The Pharos Arts Foundation is directly dependent on private funding.
The Pharos Arts Foundation has created two venues to host its concerts and cultural events: The Shoe Factory[1] and The Olive Grove.[2]
