Organized by First Wish Art Gallery in collaboration with Art Oriental Ltd., UK at Silk Factory Studio, Tbilisi, Georgia
67 Artists • 9 Nationalities • 100 Artworks
The FWAG Georgia Group Art Exhibition 2022 brought together 67 talented artists from 9 different nationalities, showcasing a remarkable collection of 100 artworks and celebrating the spirit of international artistic collaboration.
The event was further enriched by the gracious presence of our esteemed Chief Guests, Ms. Audrey Keenan (United Kingdom) and Mr. Ahmed Al Awadhi (UAE), popularly known as Mr. Rukni. Both distinguished guests travelled from their respective countries to attend the exhibition upon our special invitation, making the occasion even more memorable.
Ms. Audrey Keenan, Gallery Mentor and Advisor, is an internationally acclaimed artist and recipient of more than 15 prestigious international awards, including the renowned Leonardo Da Vinci Award.
Mr. Ahmed Al Awadhi, an Emirati artist and businessman known through Rukni Art, shared his thoughts on the importance of creativity:
“When I was young, art was not given the importance it has today. Young people now have all the encouragement and support to be creative and artistic.”
