Dear friends,

November 2018 was a big milestone for PLUGGY, marking the completion of the 2nd year of our project.
We are proudly entering the 3rd and final year. The past 6 months, since the last time you received our newsletter, have been very active with activities like the demonstration in the Silversmithing museum in Ioannina,Greece, participating in several international events and of course our hard work in progressing the implementation of the Social Platform, Curatorial Tool and apps.
In mid of December 2018 we will release the beta platform of PLUGGY, so stay tuned for another (very short) email at that time.
For our Greek friends (and those wish to travel), you are most welcome to join us in the evening of the 18th of December, when we will have a presentation of our beta pl
atform and apps, along with an art exhibition, prepared by Vakalo Art and Design college. You can reach us at “ the Box ” but make sure to drop us an email if you plan to come, in order to be a great host for you!
Do remember, that the best way to be informed about PLUGGY is to stay connected through the existing social media: Facebook , Twitter , Instagram and LinkedIn .
