Fez: The International Artist’s Gathering

The International Artist’s Gathering is an opportunity for local and international artists to discuss their work and collaborate on future projects, while at the same time, presenting their work to the public and opening up the discussion to a wider audience. It also creates a platform for local artists to understand different artistic perspectives and learn from them.

This gathering is the preparation stage for the larger International Art and Photography Festival, to be held in Spring 2016.
