The story

Cucuteni Art Festival Moldova in Chisinau/regions

Cucuteni Art Festival is a creative camp and festival held in Ivancea village, roughly 30 minutes from Chisinau, gathering international ceramicists and painters inspired by the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, a prehistoric civilization dating roughly 5,400 to 2,700 BC. It features exhibitions of over 50 ceramic and painting works, seasonal Moldovan cuisine and live music.

Long before Ivancea village existed in its current form, the wider region was home to the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, a prehistoric civilization that flourished roughly from 5,400 to 2,700 BC across parts of what is now Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This festival draws its entire creative premise from an unusually deep well of history: the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, a prehistoric civilization active roughly from 5,400 to 2,700 BC, whose distinctive pottery and painted designs still inspire ceramicists and painters thousands of years later

02

The mystery stays covered

Structured as a creative camp rather than a passive exhibition, the event brings international artists together in Ivancea village to produce new ceramic and painting work on site, under the banner of the Cucuteni International Art Camp Symposium, rather than simply displaying finished pieces brought from elsewhere

03

The city starts moving

The resulting exhibitions, showing more than 50 works, sit alongside seasonal Moldovan cuisine, children's activities, craft stalls and live music, with its location just 30 minutes from Chisinau keeping it accessible as a day trip
