The exhibition of the creative works of the open-air participants of the "Silk Fiesta" opens on August 2. 4:30 p.m., and will run until August 31. WE INVITE!
Silk painting plein air "Silk fiesta" is an ongoing project that has been active since 2020. It was started to be prepared by promoting the diversity of creative expressions and the cooperation of professional creators, the development of the professional art space in the region. The project is unique in that it is the only professional art event in Lithuania that exclusively promotes the field of silk painting. Although the history of silk leads to India and the Far East, in the 21st century this type of painting has spread all over the world, because painting on silk is a universal type of painting, which includes both visual (paintings, non-functional art objects, textile sculptures) and applied art (clothing, accessories, interior details) aspects. Silk painting is characterized by a wide variety of techniques. During the plein air, different techniques will be presented and silk painting experiences will be shared by 6 participants - professional painters:
Rūta Burbulė (Druskininkai),
Eglė Lipinskaitė (Marijampolė),
Lina Vaišnytė (Anykščiai),
Inga Betuža-Bertuža (Vilnius),
Lina Zavadskė (Vilnius),
Rasa Astikaitė-Žiobakienė (Klaipėda).
The joint exhibition of the works of the plein-air participants of the "Silk Fiesta" will be exhibited in the "Menų kalvė", later presented in the cultural institutions of the Alytus region.
Photographs, videos and publicity will be taken during the event
