Bridging Cultures Through Art
In collaboration with the Art Cross Foundation, "Rooted in Culture" is an exhibition designed to promote and honor contemporary Georgian art in the United States. Originated during the pandemic, the Art Cross Foundation embarked on numerous initiatives, with this exhibition acting as a bridge connecting the rich artistry of Georgia with American audiences.

By bridging the artistic landscapes of Georgia and the United States, this initiative seeks to deepen mutual appreciation and understanding while celebrating the beauty of diversity. The event serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative nature of art, which transcends boundaries and nurtures connections on a global scale.
Initiating the journey in Tbilisi and then transitioning to Washington, D.C., Georgian contemporary art was proudly showcased at the Library of Congress. This exhibition represents not just a collection of artworks but a celebration of cultural heritage and artistic innovation.
