September is here and along with it comes a new agenda of events. Making a big comeback after a brief summer break is the local art scene as a handful of art exhibitions open this month around the country.
Madonnas – Psifida Art Gallery
Opening on Friday in Paphos is Marina Tziara’s exhibition titled Madonnas which will feature a series of paintings inspired by women. The month-long exhibition, ending on October 3, talks about motherhood, the stories of women and the different ways of becoming a mother.
