AVARTS Live Game Hub is an action aiming to bring together new game designers and creators and showcase their ideas to the public. It is organized by teachers of the Department of Audio and Visual Arts with a coordinating core of Vassilis Komianos, Varvara Garnelis, and Emmanuel Rovithis, and is staffed by students who are actively involved in creating games. It focuses on the game design and play process by connecting young designers with people willing to play together and exchange ideas that will make the games more interesting and fun.

This year, the main theme of the action consists of board games that have been implemented by the students of the Department of Audio and Visual Arts of the Ionian University, supplemented by digital and augmented reality games. The action will take place in the Garden of the People on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 May, aspiring to be a pole of attraction for students, children, residents, visitors, and tourists of Corfu who wish to spend their time pleasantly through entertainment and information.
