Bisart

Bisart is an exhibition in Bissen (Luxembourg). This event is every year in may and the artisans live all in this little village in the middle of Luxembourg. For most off them heir art is their hobby. Our quiltgroup has some quilts here because the meeting point of our group is Bissen.
You can see here some really remarquable works of art, paintings, sculptures, mosaics, photos, quilts etc...
The theme of the exhibition was "PEOPLE"
