Yarmarka 2012

"Yarmarka's" idea was born ten years ago to make use of LAA students' works. The event's motto - "Become famous before you die!" The fair grows and becomes more spectacular and varied each year. "Yarmarka" is open to all those who are curious to see the students' art and want to relax, enjoy the Christmas atmosphere or purchase original art for prices ranging from one lat to several hundred lats. This is a wonderful place to buy unusual and interesting gifts and their variety is changed daily.

"Yarmarka" features fresh art from the latest exhibitions and works specifically designed for it. This year, the fair will present around 10,000 latest works from more than 300 students.

The fair offers various art directions, new or renowned artists, and various ideas. Thus "Yarmarka" is perfectly suited for all taste buds, point out the organizers. LAA students from Departments of Visual Communication, Environmental Art, Functional Design, Ceramics, Textile, Glass Art, Sculpture, Fashion Art, Restoration, Scenography, History and Theory of Art and Culture, Metal Design, Painting, and Graphic Art are participating in this year's fair.

In addition, "Yarmarka" has inspired its organizers to create an online art gallery www.makslasperons.lv, where the works of Latvian artists are available throughout the year.
