Adjara. On August 24, the organization "Micro-Phone” held the meeting in the Batumi Civic Engagement Center as part of the project "Yard Stories”, which aimed to present the portfolios of participating painters.

"Yard Stories” is the cultural-arts initiative, which covers the joint creative process of the Batumi-based and Tbilisi-based painters in the public space, which is one of the streets (Akhmed Melashvili) of Batumi and the several yars located there. The project aims at creative cooperation of painters with the residents of the yards, enlivening the cultural heritage and personal stories and transforming them into contemporary art, which in itself reflects the urban and social dynamics of Batumi.

Created works will be exhibited for certain period of time in the street and yards, which will change the image of the yards and reveal the unknown, cultural, historic, and everyday characteristics of residents in the physical space of yards and in the form of art works.
