Cretan Night – Sip & Paint
Presented by The Cretan Association of Sydney & NSW
A special Sip & Paint Event to commemorate the Holocaust of the Arkadi Monastery, 1866.
A place of heroic resistance, where hundreds of locals chose sacrifice over surrender in the fight for independence.
Together we will paint one of Crete's most treasured landmarks, a symbol of courage, faith & freedom. It's stunning Renaissance architecture and golden stone facade will come through your brushstrokes as our professional artist guides you step by step into painting this historic sanctuary.
You will capture not just it's visual splendour, but the spirit of resilience that has inspired generations, a soulful blend of art, history and heart - a true tribute to Crete's enduring strength!
