Every year, the Festival brings a refreshing wave of artistic energy, the enthusiasm of which stays with us long after its completion. What enriched us personally and professionally is the fact that we were able to support the Festival and host educational workshops for young people. For several days, we witnessed argumentative and passionate discussions enabling young people to exchange views with managers in culture and arts, multimedia artists, painters, sculptors, graphic artists, and the like. In addition, it made contemporary art more familiar, live, receptive, real and visible to those whose tastes, values and beliefs are still developing and whose experience has a lot of room to develop a more beautiful, different, substantial and better world. Isn’t this one of the basic functions of art? In hope that the Festival will continue to grow, develop and last, we look forward to new workshops, lectures and exhibitions.
