The exhibition of craftworks "Masterpiece"

The exhibition of the works of craftsmen from Jūrmala and the surrounding area, organized by the outstanding master of applied folk art Dagmāras Priberga, "Masterpiece" - as an emotional and gorgeous prelude to the great folk art exhibition "We" of the Song Festival.
  Dagmāra Prieberg emphasizes that every self-respecting craftsman knows that the work belongs only to skilled hands. You have to learn dozens of secrets of the job all your life, you have to improve. Any good craftsman can imitate a beautiful ethnographic object, but only a few can create it. The beauty of folk art is manifested in the quality of products, the maintenance of ancient craft skills, restrained compositions, delicate color combinations, which show a high artistic level and respect for the values of Latvian folk art. Experienced exhibition scenographer Mārtiņš Heimrāts created the visual image of the exhibition as a conditional way to the Song Festival. Craftsmen's works are complemented by photographs of choristers from the first half of the 20th century from the collection of the Jurmala Museum. A contemporary mood is brought to the exhibition by the video installation of the young artist Sabīne Moore with her interpretation of the ornament.
