The 2013 edition of the ARTmania Festival Sibiu will take place in between 5th and 11th of August, having a dynamic program, full of innovative and unconventional activities. A well-known supporter of the alternative culture, the ARTmania platform launches this year a conceptual space meant to refresh the life of the medieval citadel, to support the cultural dialogue and promote the national values in an international context: ARTmania Smart Zone.
Painting, photography, graphics, and the art of writing will merge with the idea of performance and installation, movie and music, bringing a large variety of cultural events closer to the audience of the 8th edition of the festival and the local community. All these alternative activities will take place under the label of ARTmania Smart Zone, in the Small Square of Sibiu and the partner locations situated nearby.
