The educational process inherent to the Olympic Games bridges the Ancient and Modern worlds. Thousands of years ago an athlete was not only expected to possess great speed and strength, but also understand and nurture the arts. By training his or her body in sport and his or her mind in literature, painting, poetry, and music, the Olympic Creed established a procedure to produce more responsible and enriched citizens. Art of the Olympians is dedicated to the promotion of educational values through the art exhibitions it hosts around the world.
