The second part of the activity is the 3rd day. It began with a seminar. It
was organized with the participation of almost 50 university students. The
artists came together with students from all faculties of University. They
talked about the art in EU; chances and opportunities for artists of the
future; difficulties they can be encountered. They talked about their own
experiences. This part of the program was very eye-opening activity. It
was a good chance for students who are in Samsun where cultural and
artistic activities are limited.

that includes to the productions of two-days workshop. This exhibition is
still open for all students and local people.
