Join our exclusive community!
Over time, Plastico has increasingly become an artistic hub on Syros.
Our unique global community is made up of people who have three things in common: they appreciate contemporary arts, they love Syros (whether they live on the island or not!) and they are interested in cultural initiatives.
As well as joining this warm and welcoming group of people, becoming a Friend of Plastico comes with some great perks!
Exclusive invitations.
Friends of Plastico are regularly invited to exclusive private showings, where they’ll get to meet the artist and chat with like-minded others over good wine and good music.
Ambassador of cultural life on Syros.
Your support and presence are essential to bringing good contemporary art to Syros.

Our Friends say…
Exclusive opening of SIFF Exhibition
“I was so pleased to welcome friends, visitors and art enthusiasts to experience the RECONNECT Exhibition Opening at the Plastico Café Gallery.
Everyone was so kind and enthusiastic about my work, as demonstrated by several sales, and a rash of red dots!
At first glance Plastico is a charming and chilled space in a discreet alley way in the centre of Town. It provides friendly open-air service in the height of summer despite current restrictions. The incredible support of Curator Sharon Harvey and other helpful arts team volunteers culminated in my first exhibition on the Island of Syros. I am so grateful to you all.”
— Janet Flynn, artist
“Plastico! This gem is a heaven for those that appreciate art, conversation, superb coffee and Italian inspired delicacies.
Spiros is the most considerate and welcoming of hosts and Chiara is a bundle of life and enthusiasm.
As expat residents of Syros this is our local daily favourite – a reason to come to town, and it never disappoints. A meeting place for friends, broad minded souls and a feast for the senses. Civility in an ancient land and an absolute must for all locals and tourists alike.”
— Trish Shield, designer
“Plastico is my must go oasis in Ermopoulis. The coffee is consistently excellent as are the “naughty” treats that are often available. The often-changing art and patterns on display provide engaging revelations and enjoyment, as do the occasional art show openings.
Spiros is a gracious and professional host who ensures I am, and all guests are, always welcome, can have a chat, relax and enjoy.”
— Steven Lesser, professor
“Janet Flynn’s ‘Reconnect’ is a wonderful show, one of the best I’ve seen on the island.
Curated by Sharon Harvey, there was an amazing range of imagery and ideas. Her colour work is exceptional.
Nick and I buy art in Australia, so we are used to far higher prices. It was so exciting to be able to afford more than one piece. Thanks for the show, Spiros, we are so happy you and Chiara have created a beautiful little hub for art lovers on the island.”
— Elspeth and Nick Geronimos, business owners
