The story

Art-Gene Festival in Tbilisi Ethnographic Museum

Art-Gene Festival stages folk music, dance and craft demonstrations inside Tbilisi's open-air ethnographic museum, using its collection of relocated traditional houses and farm buildings from across Georgia's regions as a directly relevant backdrop. The setting lets visitors encounter different regional Georgian folk traditions within one accessible site rather than travelling separately to each region.

Art-Gene Festival uses Tbilisi's open-air ethnographic museum as its main venue, staging folk and traditional arts programming inside a setting already built around preserving and displaying Georgian vernacular architecture and rural material culture.

01

The place changes

Few folk festivals use a venue as directly relevant to their content as Art-Gene does, staging performances among genuine relocated traditional buildings from across Georgia's regions rather than a generic stage, giving folk music and craft demonstrations an architecturally and materially authentic backdrop

02

The mystery stays covered

That structure lets visitors move between different regional Georgian cultures, Adjara, Svaneti, Kakheti and others, represented spatially across the museum grounds, within a single festival visit rather than needing separate regional travel
