Nicosia, Larnaca and Limassol welcome new art exhibitions this month that feature the works of students and groups of artists. In Larnaca, Lekfara lace is back in the spotlight as the annual exhibition Lefkart V returns. Back for its fifth edition, the exhibition is the artistic outcome of the programme Lefkara Lace-A Source of Inspiration funded by the cultural services of the ministry of education.
The programme aims to promote tangible cultural heritage and includes seminars on the historical development of Lefkara lace, its technique and its application to applied arts. Teachers and professors took part in the programme and this month it concludes with the exhibition which features the creations of their students based on the material of the seminars. The creative concept of the showcase is based on the promotion, distribution and support of the students’ artworks which were based on the art of Lefkara lace. This year the exhibition will take place at the Phivos Stavrides Foundation – Larnaka Archives in Larnaca from February 15 and will last for a whole month.
