ABOUT INTERCULTURAL IN CONVERSATION AMBASSADORS OUR PARTNERS

you are here

Art In Conversation is about sharing, is about inspiring a relationship with art through direct conversation with artists.

Art In Conversation is also about opening perspectives into Romania and its rich and inspiring history, traditions, landscapes and vibrant culture. We are looking forward to introducing artists around the world to this space and invite them to come and create in Romania for determined periods of time.

Their works and hearts will carry the spirit of the Romanian lyrical universe wherever they are.

Our mission has two purposes:

To promote Romanian artists and designers and to create a direct connection between artists and audiences across the world.
To introduce and connect artists around the world with Romania and its cultural realm.

Meet our friends, artists from all over the world whose work is inspired by Romanian cultural space.
