JURY
ABOUT THE ARTAPESTRY7 EXHIBITION
It was a great honor for us to participate as members of the Jury of the International ARTAPESTY6. This year's session took place in unexpected and unusual circumstances caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, due to the excellent cooperation with the main organizer of the project, Anet Brusgaard, and from the Jury, successful cooperation was established and meaningful deliberations were conducted online.
The level of works sent by the participants proves the unwavering great potential of artistic textile in this very traditional area of classical techniques. From among many submitted works, we decided to choose as many as 45 works for the exhibition.

THE JURY’S STATEMENT
After a time of discussion the jury members unanimously agreed and decided to award the prize to Feliksas Jakubauskas “Three Spheres”.
His artwork features an abstract composition combining classical tapestry weaving technique with Lithuanian traditional weaving technique. The Jury is impressed by its innovation in technique and design, while retaining the spirit of the traditional woven mark.
As for the prize-winner we recommend Feliksas Jakubauskas from Lithuania to be a member of the jury for the next Artapestry exhibition.
