As part of the project "Connect with Nature, Portray Its Splendor!", a creative exhibition titled "Summer Dreams" (Yay arzuları) will be held at the Khatai Arts Center on October 27-28.
The project aims to bring younger generations closer to nature, showcase its remarkable beauty throughout the seasons, and inspire young people to treat the environment with care. Following the winter and spring exhibitions, "Summer Dreams" will mark the next stage of the project.
The exhibition will be open daily at 12:00 and 16:00. Visits are organized for different age groups at designated time slots.
Approximately 1,300 artworks by more than 900 local and international participants aged 8 to 21 were submitted for the exhibition. The main themes of the works include the moods evoked by summer, summer landscapes in our surroundings, the colors of summer nature, summer dreams, and summer moments preserved in memory.
The submitted works were selected based on their relevance to the theme and their format. Although many participants had two or more works selected, the principle of "one artist — one artwork" meant that more than 600 artists were ultimately eligible to participate in the exhibition.
International participants include artists from Moldova, Turkiye, Serbia, Croatia, Russia, Belarus, Taiwan, Iran and Bulgaria. Works by international artists have also been included in the exhibition catalogue.
