The sixth edition facilitated new installations in Kutaisi, Batumi, Gori, and Gurjaani—in addition to its namesake community—by nearly a dozen artists from around the country and beyond.
Many of the works reference local traditions, like Afzan Pirzade’s depiction of vintners holding a basket of grapes, representing a form of agriculture common in the eastern region of Kakheti. Tina Chertova incorporated a traditional lace-like pattern into a stunning, blue, multistory mural featuring birds, people, deer, and other decorative motifs. And in others, figures assume mythical personas, prepare food, and portray togetherness.
This year, the monumental compositions adorn the sides of buildings that range from two stories tall to more than a dozen, the largest painting reaching 65 meters tall and 20 meters wide. Through vibrant splashes of color, the works celebrate resilience, community, and local customs in an array of styles.

These murals are so incredibly powerful!
Your angel step-by-step is another treat. Thank you, Jacki.
But i also enjoyed the huge art works for Tbilisi Mural Fest.
Thanks for answering my yesterday's comment so nicely, Jacki.
Today was a holiday here in Austria and I was so lucky to get a visit from my older son and his three children. It was such a happy time for me.
Yes, I'm so glad you like them. I'd love to see building like that here.
Thank you, Elenor, I hope you are not weary of the step-by step angels? Is your brother that was ill, doing better? What is his first name? Love & prayers.
