Sketchbook Art Exhibition – Tbilisi, April 12, 2026

April 12, 2026 · Tbilisi, CHITI Club Saburtalo, Simon Kandelaki St, 39

About the event

Flip through sketchbooks. See how ideas actually take shape.

The first open sketchbook exhibition in Tbilisi presents sketchbooks as complete works in their own right.

Visitors can follow how ideas take shape through sketches, experiments, and visual thinking – revealed page by page.

Each sketchbook carries its own style, rhythm, and narrative.

Come to explore, flip through real sketchbooks, meet the artists, and spend time in a space centered on process and creative exchange.

Why sketchbooks?

Usually hidden

Sketchbooks live in bags, drawers, and studios.

Raw process

This is where ideas actually happen — not the polished version.

Personal logic

Each sketchbook has its own rhythm and way of thinking.

This exhibition turns that inside out.

It brings sketchbooks into the open – as real, complete artistic objects.

What you can do

Make something yourself
