About this tour
This walk covers Tbilisi's newer creative quarter, from Fabrika's converted factory courtyard to the restored facades of Aghmashenebeli avenue. You see murals painted across the walls of Chugureti, a painted sadarbazo entrance hall from around the 1900s, and small galleries where the guide stops to talk with artists working in their studios. It moves from industrial reuse to street-level decoration along one of the city's changing streets.
The call opens with a sound check at Fabrika, then follows the streets towards Aghmashenebeli avenue, stopping at each mural, hall or studio along the way. Questions come as the walk goes, and a short list of the galleries and studios follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone interested in how a city's industrial past gets reused rather than knocked down. It also suits those curious about Tbilisi's current art scene beyond its museums.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
