Dear friends, With pain in my heart I have to tell you that it will be the final chapter of 18 years of organising this Festival. Starting as a week long exhibition which was visited by about 5 people it did received last year about 500 visitors or more. Also visitors from all over the world. But after issue 18 I will finally take some rest and move on to something different.
But never say never, maybe who knows there will be a 19th issue, but then some changes have to be made and with more tasks to others. But now it is 100% for sure that issue 18 will be the final chapter of a long history. Issue 18 - the final chapter - will offer more for visitors and artists the ever, come and see for yourself.
