Arts – Culture – Education build an ACE in Society

In the times we live in, the focus of many lays on areas such as IT, financial, maybe medical, legal, and yet we all need to express our feelings and cuddle our vulnerabilities.

We respond to this deep need of today’s society through Festival 4 Arts, a place where people of all ages express themselves through art, culture and education in universal human fields.

1.    Festival 4 Arts, an ACE in Society

The ”Festival 4 Arts” project aims at increasing and disseminating arts, culture and education within a series of artistic events. It brings together 4 areas of art and it aims to cohesion between masters and disciples, between consecrated artists and talented aspirants.

One of the most important results of the ”Festival 4 Arts” project and its preparatory season, called the ”The Festival’s Prologue”, is that people of all ages and professions are asserted and become known worldwide.

Relaxation and restoration of resources during the holiday made it necessary to find a venue for the Festival, so that people benefit from several advantages. Some of them are offered by the wonderful city of Câmpina: isolation from intense road traffic, picturesque settlement, clean air, sunny days, all with a beneficial effect on health.

2.     Festival 4 Arts Overview

Our project starts from the idea of ​​satisfying the need for rest and recreation while studying daily in a professional, competitive, and enjoyable environment.

We believe that joining the four areas – music, visual arts, acting and creative writing – contributes to the development of the artistic spirit and the individual motivation of the participants.

At the same time, we found that among students there is a desire to participate in events that combine the courses supported by renowned professors, with the possibility of socializing with colleagues from different areas of the country as well as from abroad.

We leave open the participation of children without artistic experience, organizing for them courses of initiation in the 4 arts.

We also accommodate adults to develop or refine their artistic hobby.

Recently, we decided to be more active in the online activities. We launched the series of ”Online Contests”, where people from everywhere can compete with others in their artistic specialization or hobby. As a special gift for the winners, we conduct interviews with them, offering 15 minutes in which they present their background and plans. The interviews are seen by many.

Masterclasses in music, individual study, cenacles and drama courses take place at the “Geo Bogza” House of Culture and at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.
