Paying Tribute to Art with Art, OLYMP'ARTS Anthem Debuts at OLYMP'ARTS 2023 on October 5, 2023. The OLYMP'ARTS flag was raised to the accompaniment of the anthem, and the six stars of the OLYMP'ARTS logo on the flag were blended with the OLYMP'ARTS anthem like a comprehensive work of art. Looking back at ancient Greek art through the Zappeion in Athens, the flow of notes and the composition of color blocks at the same time sends a beautiful hope for the development of today's contemporary art.

OLYMP'ARTS Anthem
Ancient holy springs
rush wisdom's rainbow,
night's starry illuminings
lift the grand stage rideau.
Earth's spring warm breeze
unfolds its budding talents:
The lightning and the thunder
well in the vast sky chastise
old Earth's many parasites
Flow the tinkling strings,
peace's melodic harmony.
Colourful stone sculptings
in faithful totems'euphony.
Magical brushes paint
marvelous mountains, rivers,
the tinkling flow of strings…
A realm of dreams alight
by dancing spirits'figures.
OLYMP'ARTS! Since times
ancient embrace the future,
to the ocean flow the holy springs,
connect six stars to Art's creature!
We gather at Olymp'Arts,
our hearts as one are beating.
Let beauty save the world!
Enjoy the Glory of Peace!
World's beautiful'cause of you!
Art's different'cause of you!
