On June 4, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. The XXI International Arts Festival "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" has prepared gifts for philocardists, poster collectors, and its guests, the festival directorate told a BELTA correspondent. For the first time, the festival directorate has released a commemorative postcard and a poster dedicated to the current arts forum, which will be useful not only for collectors. They are designed in the corporate style of the XXI festival - they feature silk ribbons which, according to the authors' concept, symbolize the flags of the participating countries, represent the features of national cultures and costumes of different peoples. The ribbons are woven into braids and symbolize unity and strength, they soar into the air and form unpredictable figures, curl and disappear into infinity. The colour palette of the composition is rich and at the same time very precise in its colouring. The postcard, as a memento of the festival, its people, meetings, and the ineffable atmosphere, can be sent to friends or kept in your own collection. The poster, before being monumentally hung on the wall, should first be used as a programme booklet. On the reverse side, it prints the full programme of all events of the large-scale cultural forum starting from July 10, when at 21:00 the solo concert of Valeria "Best Songs" will begin, and ending with the final concert "Stars of Shanson-TV" at "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" on July 19. It also contains information on ticket prices, programmes that will take place at all festival venues: at the Vitebsk Regional Philharmonic, the Yakub Kolas National Academic Drama Theatre, the House of Cinema, the Vitebsk Concert Hall, and, of course, on the main stage - in the Summer Amphitheatre. The poster-programme booklet will introduce the participants of the XXI International Pop Song Performers Competition "Vitebsk-2012" and the X International Children's Music Competition "Vitebsk-2012", as well as the seating charts of the Summer Amphitheatre and the Vitebsk Concert Hall. The unusual poster folds into a small booklet. Philocardists are not the only ones who will receive another gift from "Slavianski Bazaar". The directorate is preparing a set of postcards with views of festival Vitebsk and the main concert venues. -0-
