The Art Bazaar at Mtatsminda Park

On September 27-29, gallery ARTTENT in Mtatsminda Park is to welcome art enthusiasts to its bazaar, under the motto ‘Collectors for Collectors’. ARTTENT is a new cultural hub in Tbilisi, launched in Mtatsminda Park in July 2019. Its latest event aims to launch a union between galleries and art-lovers.

GEORGIA TODAY contacted Maya Bichikashvili, organizer of the Art Bazaar, to find out more.

“Tbilisi certainly needs venues for novelties in the field of art,” Bichikashvili told us. “Guests of the Art Bazaar will be welcomed with numerous surprises, gifts and discoveries and will be able to purchase incredible artisan works on site.”

She also spoke about the desire to launch a market in the Georgian capital which would bring together a large array of different items, noting that the Art Bazaar is the first such precedent at Mtatsminda Park. She noted their intention to transform the Art Bazaar into an interesting tradition of arts and crafts, giving both young artists and private collectors a chance to introduce their exclusive works to wider audiences or add yet another beautiful piece of art to their collections. The items presented on site will also make great gifts.

Bitchikashvili talked to us about the interior of the venue.

“No such space has been allocated for any art event in Tbilisi so far. Guests are sure to be pleasantly surprised,” she said.

Along with the Art Bazaar, meetings with famous gallerists, collectors and artists will also take place within the scope of the event. Visitors will also have a chance to attend an art workshop and listen to lectures on tendencies in contemporary art and the influence of media on art.

The Art Bazaar is yet another platform which will help you to rethink art as a territory for communication.

At ARTTENT you will be met by a free and tasteful atmosphere, enabling you to choose from a multiplicity of different items, discover galleries and artists, explore the ongoing exhibition and simply spend a pleasant time with family and friends.
