- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 30 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Mon, 30 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us on Monday, March 30th, for a free lecture by renowned local artist Christos Dikeakos on the life and works for the great Greek folk painter, Theophilos Hatzimichail. 

Born in Vareia, Mytilene, in 1870 and died in 1934, Theophilos Hatzimichail is a major contributor to Modern Greek art. Theophilos’ life was very hard and his works, individual paintings and murals in tavernas, were mostly regarded as curiosities of little value until a fellow islander and well know international modern publisher and critic, Stratis Elefteriadis (known in France as Teriade) befriended Theophilos and brought him national and international recognition posthumously. In 1961 Theophilos was exhibited in the Louvre as a genuine folk painter of Greece and in 1965 Teriade donated 86 paintings to the Municipality of Lesvos, along with a building that is the Theophilos Museum in Vareia.

Christos Dikeakos is an established artist born in Thessaloniki, Greece. He moved to Vancouver at the age of ten and has been working there ever since. Dikeakos received a BFA from the University of British Columbia in 1970. He has played an important role in the development of conceptual photography in Vancouver. His work has been shown nationally and internationally and is in numerous museum and public gallery collections. He was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts in 2013.
