Arts Council Azerbaijan holds plein air for artists

The June plein air titled "Under the Open Sky" has been held at Arts Council Azerbaijan art residence in Mardakan, Azernews reports.

Organised by the NGO Arts Council Azerbaijan, this interactive creative event aims to support and develop talented artists.

The main purpose of plein air events is to provide artists with the opportunity to gather frequently in an informal setting to create paintings together, share experiences and energy, and create works of art outdoors. Such events promote constant communication between artists, stimulate their development, and promote their creativity.

Traditionally, from early morning, the participants of the event, among whom were both young artists and older generation masters, worked in the open air. Well-known artists Dadash Mammadov, Malak Abbaszade, Laman Hajiyeva, Huseyn Kangarli, Samira Faizova, Ruslan Rustamov, Aliya Asadullayeva, and Naila Maharramova took part in the plein air.

Such events help develop talent and strengthen cultural ties within the artist community.
