In attendance was His Excellency Ambassador of Greece in Australia Mr George Papacostas, Her Excellency Mrs Martha A Mavrommatis High Commissioner of the Republic of Cyprus, Archepiscopal Vicar of Canberra and Tasmania Father Prochoros Anastasiadis, The Very Reverend Father Petros Kipouros, President of the Cyprus Community in Canberra Mrs Georgia Alexandrou and President of the Greek Orthodox Community and Church of Canberra Mr John Loukadellis.

Nick Bourdaniotis, the Director of Photography for Greek City Times, also donated three of his very own exhibition prints to the Hellenic Club of Canberra.

They were auctioned off and over $15,000 was raised for the local Greek School, run by the local Greek Orthodox community and church of Canberra, which now boasts over 200 enrolled students in its children and online adult education programs.

No matter what time of day visitors attended, the exhibition was buzzing.

The Greek Presidential Guard captured in a way never seen before.

Nick's love and pride for his heritage is so profound that he has the ability to ignite the Hellenic flame in every person that witnesses his exhibition.

Nick and his team would like to thank the Hellenic Club of Canberra for their support of the event and the Greek Orthodox Community and Church of Canberra for their hospitality and collaboration in making this a successful opening for this National exhibition.
