About Festival<\/h5>

FINEness International Art Festival<\/h2>

Each edition of the festival has its own theme. This time, the FINEness Festival will revolve around the theme of \u201cMan.\u201d The Historic Ignacy Mine, the halo! Rybnik City Information Point, and the Museum in Rybnik are just a few of the venues that have agreed to host our festival. Events making up the third edition of the International FINEness Art Festival will take place in each of these locations.
\nThe IWS Poland Association has prepared a wide range of attractions during the festival. Artists from all over the world have been invited to share their knowledge through demonstrations and workshops. So far, we have hosted watercolorists from Peru, Macedonia, India, Slovakia, Thailand, Portugal, Slovenia, and Mexico.
\nWe would like to introduce and provide artists with access to a variety of materials during the fairs organized at the Historic Ignacy Mine. The festival has attracted artists not only from Rybnik but from all over Poland and other countries as well.
\nThe main events will be exhibitions representing various types of art, spread across different points in the city. To bring artists from different cities and regions closer together and to build connections, we have planned a series of open-air sessions, integration activities, and artistic challenges throughout the festival.
