Creative Compass Georgia Festival

The Creative Compass Festival is a regional celebration of creativity, culture, and community engagement taking place across Poti, Zugdidi, Gori, Kaspi, Akhaltsikhe, Kobuleti, and Kutaisi throughout 2026–2027. Bringing together artists, cultural workers, entrepreneurs, young people, and local residents, the festival will feature music, visual arts, crafts, heritage experiences, workshops, exhibitions, performances, local markets, and community activities.

Designed as a platform for collaboration, cultural exchange, and the promotion of local creative potential, the festival creates opportunities for regional creatives to showcase their work, strengthen their entrepreneurial capacities, and engage with new audiences. The festival also fosters exchange and cooperation between regional stakeholders across Georgia and creative and cultural partners from the European Union.

The festival is implemented by the Danish Cultural Institute as part of Creative Compass Georgia.

The first Festival took place in Poti.

Over three dynamic days (24-26 July 2026), the Tsiali Festival brought together artists, cultural practitioners, and representatives of Georgia’s creative sector from across Samegrelo region. The programme offered a diverse mix of workshops, exhibitions, masterclasses, performances, and collaborative cultural activities, creating opportunities for knowledge exchange, artistic expression, and community engagement. 
 
The festival was hosted by Limena, a local partner organisation and cultural and educational center in Poti.
