The Centre of Visual Arts and Research (CVAR), located on Ermou Street in the heart of the walled city of Nicosia, opened in 2014. CVAR is home to the Costas and Rita Severis collections, which include paintings, antique costumes and memorabilia related to Cyprus and its neighbours.
Since 1999, the Costas & Rita Severis Foundation has organised cultural and educational events while promoting research and scholarship in Cyprus. In 2014, the Foundation opened the Centre of Visual Arts & Research (CVAR) on 285 Ermou Street in the heart of the walled city of Nicosia.
The construction and launch of the Centre of Visual Arts and Research would not have been possible without the financial support, help and encouragement of our sponsors.
We would be delighted to receive your support. This support may be through volunteer work, joining our committees (promotional, educational, shop, events), through membership, or through sponsoring our events and functions at the Center of Visual Arts and Research.
