Miks festivali külastada?

Visuaalkunsti näituseid ollakse harjutud esitlema ja külastama valgetes steriilsetes galeriiruumides ja tantsuetendusi viiakse läbi pigem blackboxi mustade seinte vahel. Uuenduslik ja unikaalne on korraldatav kultuurisündmus nii kunstnikele kui ka kunstihuvilisele just seetõttu, et looming tuuakse loodusesse - Väinamere kaldale, kus puuduvad teost piiritlevad ruumide raamid.

• Kõik on oodatud! Tegemist on avaliku kogu pere üritusega, kuhu on oodatud igas vanuses inimesed;

• Kutsume inimesi tutvuma vähe tähelepanu saanud looduskauni paigaga Eestimaal;

• Festival on rahvusvaheline, mis toob Eestile tuntust;

• Teeme koostööd! Kutsume vabatahtlikke appi talgutele ja installatsioone ehitama (kirjuta maalabor@gmail.com).
