Georgian Delegation Arrive in Marbella
Batumi Delegation – Natalia Stuart- Fox, Irina Tsertsvadze, Loni Olfers, Natia Surguladze and Gladys Osterwald.
After all the preparation and planning Marbella’s International Art Festival is finally here, the delegation from Georgia have arrived and the inauguration takes place tonight.
There will be a strong Georgian influence at this year’s festival thanks to the hard work of Natalie Stuart Fox and the collaboration with Batumi Art Festival. There are seven artists and one gallery from the Black Sea countries and performers from Georgia, plus a Delegation from the Town Hall and business associations from Batumi, the cultural capital of the Black Sea Coast.
Arte Marbella’s President Caroline Bowley commented; “This year, our festival is welcoming Georgian artists and honoured by the presence of Mayor and Vice Mayor of Batumi, cultural capital of the Black Sea Coast. This continues the strong relationship between Marbella and Batumi which has been built through art and offers many opportunities for cross promotion and a new source of tourism and revenue for the town.
