Art open Call
Vasilisa Chugunova - «Molecule»
Melis Arslan - «And They Shined Forever»
Tales of Arcadia art & music festival announces the art open-call for the creation of special art objects with the support of the local art community. Our idea is to create 
the experience on the intersection
 of visual art, digital media technologies and power of music.
Through our fairytales we help to open the forgotten feelings of exploring in excitement to facilitate the healing
of our souls and hearts. The festival 
is a synthesis of arts and we are looking for like-minded people to develop the art community.
