JS Gallery by the Institute of Mediterranean Culture is an international art space committed to promoting unity, dialogue, and cultural exchange through contemporary art.
In a world often marked by fragmentation and division, the gallery’s artists strive to find a common visual language that fosters understanding and connection.
Each artist brings a unique perspective to the theme of identity and their place in the contemporary world, using their individual visual languages to engage with this profound subject. Together, their work offers a metaphorical path toward unity, reflecting the essence of life itself.
"Through JS Gallery, we aim to present not only individual artistic voices but also a collective metaphor of connection and unity," says curator Julia Sysalova.
The gallery is currently represented online via Artsy, a global art platform where collectors, curators, and institutions can discover the works of emerging, underrepresented, and established artists, from diverse cultural and stylistic backgrounds.
JS Gallery brings together artists from across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Through their work, these artists explore themes of identity, belonging, and human connection, offering their work as a bridge between cultures. This shared exploration of universal themes reflects the gallery’s mission to foster dialogue and understanding through art.
The minimalism of Cycladic lines, endless azure, and silence broken only by the whisper of the wind — this is where the story of Grace Hotel Santorini begins. The resort is designed as an extension of the landscape: light-filled suites with private pools appear as if carved into the cliffside, offering mesmerising views of the volcanic caldera.
Gastronomy continues the dialogue with Greek tradition. At Varoulko restaurant, a Michelin-starred chef Lefteris Lazarou reinterprets Mediterranean flavours, while 363 Lounge, acclaimed as the best bar of Europe, serves signature cocktails at sunset.
In their leisure time, guests are offered personalised tours of island wineries, private yacht cruises to the volcano and hot springs, excursions in a vintage car with a photographer, and other curated experiences. For restoration — spa rituals with volcanic minerals delivered to the suite, sunrise yoga in a studio with sea panoramas, or kayaking along the red cliffs.
Location: The resort is located in Imerovigli, 15 minutes from Fira and 30 minutes from Oia. Transfer from Santorini Airport (JTR) takes approximately 10 minutes by car.
