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.
