The International Festival of Fine Arts and Photography “BEAUTY OF THE COSTA BRAVA” takes place on the picturesque Costa Brava. Costa Brava means “wild coast” in Spanish. Its coastal ensemble is made up of picturesque rocky cliffs, interspersed with small bays and beaches.
The depth of the sea usually begins as early as a dozen meters from the shore. The region borders France, and its Mediterranean coast is bounded to the north and south by the resort areas of Costa Brava and Costa Dorada. On the border with France, in the town of Figueres, there is the Salvador Dali House Museum. For many artists, the visual arts competition is a unique opportunity to be inspired by the beauty of the Mediterranean and to present their artwork for an international audience. Therefore, finding sponsors who can support young talents might be a great option to make this dream come true.
It is also a photography contest, which allows photographers to show their creativity and gather material for new artworks. The exchange of experience among creative people always creates strong relationships for years. Competitive artworks are evaluated by a professional international jury according to expert evaluation criteria.
Costa Brava is the northernmost Mediterranean coast of Spain. In fact, absolutely everything is provided here for a full-fledged creative realization. Mountains covered with pine forests descend to the sea, charming coves with secluded beaches interspersed with picturesque rocky cliffs. In cozy bays along the Costa Brava coast are located numerous resort towns that provide everything for a good rest.
On your wish we can organize a trip to Tossa de Mar, a small and typically Spanish town with narrow picturesque streets, cozy cathedral square, nestled in a cozy rocky bay surrounded by beaches, cliffs, caves. A majestic medieval fortress towers over the central beach, guarding in the past the Spanish coast from pirate ships.
The Municipal Museum of Tossa that is located in the fortress exhibits the artworks of many artists who had spent their vacations here. Tossa de Mar is a town of romantics, artists and poets. Tourists from all over Europe are attracted by the tranquility and beauty of this place.
This contest gives young artists a sense of creative realization, a great vacation time on the beaches of the Costa Brava and a wonderful excursion program that will make Your trip enjoyable.
This contest is recommended to visit with the whole family, a whole class or an entire course, as it favors family and group vacations. At this contest we are glad to see not only participants, but also their friends! It is possible to organize different creative master classes.
Here in Spain the most cherished dreams of the participants come true! After all, our international festival is an opportunity to meet old friends and find new ones, to have great relaxation, to have leisure in the gentle Mediterranean Sea and show the people Your achievements in the world of art!
