The lecture is scheduled for Friday, May 10th, 2013 as part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual series “Lectures in Cycladic and Ancient Greek Art” dedicated to the fondest memory of Dolly Goulandris, founder of the MCA.

As part of the exhibition "Five seasons of the Russian avant-garde" the MCA hosted a parallel exhibition of 32 reproductions in tactile form for people with visual impairments. The exhibitions was part of a wider program coordinated by the Greek State Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition was met with enthusiastic response opening the way for more similar projects in the future.

The Hellenic Festival in collaboration with the Museum of Cycladic Art, organized the performance SACRED MONSTERS, an unconventional meeting between the European and Indian dancing traditions, as represented by the internationally acclaimed ballerina Sylvie Guillem and the superb Indian dancer Akhram Khan. The music was composed by Philip Sheppard. The performance was sponsored by the Lavrentiadis S.A. company and Estee Lauder.

The Hellenic Festival, in collaboration with the Museum of Cycladic Art and the Lavrentiadis S.A. company, organized the dance performance PUSH with the international acclaimed ballerina Sylvie Guillem. Guest in the London Royal Ballet and a real muse for many contemporary choreographers, Sylvie Guillem presented an unexpected program combining classical ballet and modern dance, prepared and co-performed by the important English dancer and choreographer Russel Maliphant. The program consisted of four parts (Two, Shift, Push, Solo), the last two being presented in world premiere.

Special events for the presentation of the new mascot of the MCA were organized for two consecutive weekends in March 2006. The new mascot is a vividly coloured version of a unique Cycladic figurine of a seated male who holds a cup in his right hand, as if “proposing a toast”. It has been selected both for its archaeological value and because it symbolizes a feast and the joy of life. The artistic adaptation was made by Christine-Joanna Lambrou.

Activities included theatrical performances for kids, puppet-shows, story-telling, workshops in painting, ceramics, and jewellery, guided tours to the collections, educational games etc. The success of the event is reflected on attendance figures approximating 5.500 visitors, mostly kids. All revenues were offered for charity purposes to MDA Ηellas (Muscular Dystrophy Association). The events were sponsored by LAVIPHARM.
