The Vitebsk Arts Forum has long held a prominent place in the global festival movement. After all, over 27 years, representatives from more than 75 countries have participated in it. Every year, thousands of guests gather in the regional center, and over 150 events are held on concert venues.
— Today, along with the festival flag, the flags of 42 countries of the world, whose representatives will take part in the XXVIII International Festival of Arts, have been raised high, — noted the Chairman of the Vitebsk City Executive Committee, Viktor Nikolaikin.
By the way, the geography of the forum expands annually; this year it has been replenished with three participating countries. These are Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Congo.
— The white flag symbolizes the festival, which has become a symbol of peace, creativity, and art, — added the General Director of the "Vitebsk" Cultural Center, Gleb Lapitsky, at the event. — May everyone find that special something during these days that they will remember for at least a year. And then, with a new charge of energy, return to Vitebsk again.
