ABOUT THE ARTAPESTRY6 EXHIBITION
It was a great honor for us to participate as members of the Jury of the International ARTAPESTY6. This year's session took place in unexpected and unusual circumstances caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, due to the excellent cooperation with the main organizer of the project, Anet Brusgaard, and from the Jury, successful cooperation was established and meaningful deliberations were conducted online.
The level of works sent by the participants proves the unwavering great potential of artistic textile in this very traditional area of classical techniques. From among many submitted works, we decided to choose as many as 45 works for the exhibition.

THE JURY’S STATEMENT
In this edition, as a result of long discussions and deliberations of the Jury, we have decided to award not one, but two artists.
Both realizations, so different in terms of their meaning, located in the region we know so well, are perfect. Respect for intellectual and visual values, both of which are so important in the opinion of the members of the Jury, became the reason for this. Congratulations to the Winners of this edition of ARTAPESTRY: Lívia Pápai and Katarzyna Lavocat.
