Public Art Festival is a biennial cultural framework,[1] established in Athens, Greece by Andreas Fakis[2] for the independent cultural organization Studio 4[3] in order to showcase forms of visual arts, conceptual art and film[4][5] that fall into the public sphere.[6]

Public Art Festival took place for the first time in Athens during September - October 2014, under the thematic of "Multiformity". The first edition of PAF was curated by Andreas Fakis,[7][8] was spread out in three venues, namely: the Benaki Museum, the Greek Film Archive - Film Museum and Romantso and several outdoor locations, including Filopappou Hill,[9][10] where the press conference of PAF took place and several walls, where murals were created and conserved.
