Forum European Cultural Exchanges was founded in 2000 as an ongoing platform for the development and promotion of European cultural exchanges –with emphasis on Southeastern Europe– aiming towards the support and diffusion of contemporary artistic creation. 
Forum was founded in 2000 in Thessaloniki by Apollonia european art exchanges (Strasbourg) and ArtBOX. For 10 years, under the creative coordination of ArtBOX, Forum organised annual conferences, meetings and exhibitions, where art professionals discussed certain aspects of contemporary artistic creation and the public was introduced to a wide spectrum of challenging contemporary art. Between 2005-2008, Forum also organised the Forum Artists-in-Residence program (F.A.R.), one of the few serious attempts to establish a residency programme in Greece, in collaboration with Action Field Kodra - annual visual arts festival.
Forum was the result of a multiple network founded in Thessaloniki in 2000 and spread throughout Europe. For 10 years, it received the endorsement and support of government organisations, such as the Ministries of Culture and of Foreign Affairs of Greece and France, cultural institutions and art professionals. Even years after the scheduled closure of its actions, we meet artists and curators whose first introduction in one of Forum’s events lead to successful projects and collaborations.
