The final art exhibition organized by Baku Creative Center with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism within the Azerbaijan Art Festival-2013 project opened at the Center on July 10 and will last two days.

The main goal of the Azerbaijan Art Festival-2013 project is to increase public interest in art, to explore the existing potential and to support creative youth. It envisions arranging mobile exhibitions and master classes in the cities including the capital Baku as well as regions of the country.

Earlier, Salyan, Saatli, Shirvan, Kurdamir, Mingachevir, Sheki, Khachmaz, Gakh and Ismayilli hosted mobile exhibitions and master classes. The tenth and last art exhibition in the country's regions was held in the State Art Gallery of Sumgayit, Azerbaijan's second largest city.

During the art exhibitions visitors familiarized themselves with contemporary art samples. The work of painter Emil Adigozalli, who drew his own portrait in front of the visitors, was particularly fascinating.

Participants of Azerbaijan Art Festival-2013 are Novruz Mammadov, Mammad Rashidov, Erkin Alekberli, Faraj Rahmanov, Gulnara Alinova, Bahruz Kangarli, Anar Huseynzade, Alekber Mammadov, Anar Ismayilzade, Lala Aghayeva, Mehriban Efendi, Gunel Ravilova, Ayten Shirzadova, Pernisa Asgerova and Aysel Amirova.
