Putting handicrafts on the map

THE NICOSIA Municipality intends to create a specialised guide for all applied arts and handcraft artists as well as their workshops and shops within the boundaries of the authority in central and wider Nicosia.

The guide will be in Greek and English and aims in promoting both applied arts and handcraft and the artists in the capital.

It will be a useful tool for foreign and local visitors or professionals, providing information on the artists, their work as well as their workspace.

The municipality invites all professional artists to participate in the guide, by providing their full information to Argyro Toumazou, as soon as possible.

The deadline for participation is May 31, 2010. For further details call 99317278 – www.nicosia.org.cy – [email protected]

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
