In June 2012 Tetra Projects collaborated with the Hellenic Society of Maine to bring a show of works on paper by fifty Portland-area artists to Portland’s Sister City of Mytilene, Greece for an exhibition at the Halim Bey Municipal Art Gallery. Funding for the show was raised through Kickstarter, with Portland Arts & Cultural Alliance acting as a fiscal partner. A preview show was held at Space Gallery in Portland in April 2012 which raised substantial media attention for the project. A reciprocal show in Maine of Greek artists is in the works, and Tetra Projects is working to collaborate on other international exhibition exchanges with artists in Spain (Jan/Feb 2013) and Portland's Sister City of Shinagawa, Japan (April 2014).
