As reported by Bolesławiec Cultural Centre – International Ceramics Centre:
We are starting in a month and have already prepared the program for the 31st Bolesławiec Ceramic Festival. It is therefore time to give you a closer look at the upcoming festival. Of course, we reserve the right to add to and possibly amend individual items on the program. We have reached preliminary agreements with some artists, but before they are named, we are finalizing the terms of their contracts. Posters and leaflets with the final Festival program will appear soon. Today, we are presenting its outline.
