   Every year, the Department of Culture and Arts organizes and hosts dozens of large and small creative events: from nationwide art competitions and academic conferences to student exhibitions and charity initiatives.

 

  This page brings together nationwide events—both those that have already become traditional and have been held by our faculty for many years, as well as new ones that we hope will also become annual creative occasions.
