Let’s wrap up Promised Land Art Festival 2024! By attending this year’s festival, you helped create this year’s record-breaking amount of participants.🙌 Over the course of the festival, a total of 936 artists enjoyed: – 40 hours of thought provoking talks, lively discussion panels, and open mic sessions, – Over 16 hours of Meet the Artist sessions with our incredible speakers and guests, – 57 hours of hands-on workshops in 3D and clay sculpting, acrylic painting, life drawing, miniature and bust painting, visual storytelling, audio foley, VFX, animation, cosplay, and professional makeup for film, – 11 hours of live demos, and – 42 hours of dedicated portfolio reviews — the first time in PLAF history that these reviews have been offered! All of these incredible sessions were led by an outstanding lineup of over 60 renowned speakers spanning multiple creative industries. 💬 “Promised Land is all about making the impossible possible, and creating this year's event really felt like the embodiment of that thought. Squeezing more than 100 hours of main activities in just 3 days felt like something that could not be achieved. And yet, we managed to make the festival the biggest in its history and, in my opinion, the best one yet! It was an incredible experience seeing so many talented artists across all disciplines come together — it’s what makes this event so special,” said Pawel Mielniczuk, Festival Director of Promised Land Art Festival. It was great seeing every single one of the attendees and experiencing all of it together. 🎨 Let’s stay united in art! 🎨 #insideRED #RED #CDPR #PromisedLand2024
