Among the Ants is an arts company based in Athens (Greece) and Larnaca (Cyprus). The Company was established in November 2009 with the aim to promote street arts and other alternative art forms (physical & visual theatre, street arts, dance theatre, mime), both in Greece and abroad.

Among the Ants is open to collaborations with Greek and foreign artists, and European and international cultural networks, as it intends to create a platform for multicultural and multinational collaborations in the field of street and open air art for the benefit of artistic exchange and creation.

For the Ants, outdoor arts include projects, performances and interactive events that take place in public view.
The term ‘outdoor art’ and ‘street art’ for us is not limited to the traditional expressions of street theatre, juggling or graffiti.On the contrary, it stands for every kind of artistic discipline and form of expression that is experimental and unconventional by nature.
