Polygreen Culture & Art Initiative (PCAI) is a cultural organization focusing on increasing environmental awareness through an annual programme of commissions, contemporary art exhibitions, artist residencies, performances conferences, and workshops. PCAI was founded in 2014 by Athanasios Polychronopoulos, CEO and founder of Polygreen network of environmental companies, as a result of his genuine belief that art is the best tool to stimulate dialogue about critical environmental issues. Through its annual programme, aligned with the United Nations’ SDGs, the organization forms a comprehensive cultural spectrum while being committed to raising environmental awareness through art. An endeavour to foster creativity, to inspire, to educate on sustainable practices and to ultimately be part of the change. Since 2021 PCAI has been an official nominator for the Earthshot Prize, the significant environmental award established by the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

PCAI implements its objectives through three areas of activity: its Art Collection and its Cultural Projects and Support.
