The AVARTS Live Game Hub is an action that aims to bring together new game designers and creators and promote their ideas to the public. It is organized by teachers of the Department of Audio and Visual Arts with a coordinating core of Vasileios Komianos, Varvara Garnelis, and Emmanouel Rovithis, and participated by students who are actively involved in creating games. It focuses on the design and process of play by bringing together new designers-creators and players willing to play together and exchange ideas that will make the games more interesting and fun.
In the context of the 19th Audiovisual Arts Festival organized by the Dept. of Audio & Visual Arts at the Ionian University, this year’s AVARTS Live Game Hub will take place in the Gkousis Building at the Department’s site on Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th of May 2026 fro 16:00 until 20:00. Like every year it aspires to become a pole of attraction for students, children, residents, visitors, and tourists of Corfu who want to have a fun time!
