AFG: Projects: Other: Culture & Art



Culture & ArtPart of AFG’s mission is to present the country of Georgia in a positive light through Georgian art and culture.  Georgia’s art and culture goes back thousands of years when Georgia was the crossroads between East and West on the ancient Silk Route.  Georgians were known for their beautiful metallurgy, silk embroidery, enameling and felt work.  AFG is helping Georgian artists to preserve and promote their art and culture who are reviving the ancient traditions in their textile art, jewelry making, sculpture and painting.  Georgian dancers are world renowned for their agility and grace.
