GWK to promote Balinese artworks
DENPASAR (indo.com): A variety of Balinese artworks will
be available at the Mandala Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK)
Cultural Park when its International Trade Promotion Center
is finished.
The
15-hectare GWK cultural park is expected to be completed
by the end of 2002, and is located at Ungasan hill, Jimbaran,
Bali.
The facility is specially designed to provide opportunities
for local small-scale business people to promote their
products. A permanent space will provided to accommodate
around 20 craftsmen from Gianyar, Badung and Denpasar.The
GWK will also organize sport activities under the name
"Pan Indo Hass Bali 2001 Program", which will
include running and hiking. The event will be held on
September 14, 2001, and up to 2,500 participants will
join in.
Conceptually, the GWK Cultural Park is being built based
on its architectural plan focusing on two mutually supportive
components that are fused harmoniously to provide an alternative
attraction facility for travellers. The GWK statue, with
the 22 meter-high God Wisnu statue as the anchor, has
been built on the top of Ungasan cliff. The statue, considered
the most spectacular in Bali (and even Indonesia), is
expected to draw much attention from visitors to Bali.
