Welcoming guests, the director of “Artbridge” Shaqe Havan thanked them for accepting the invitation to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the bookstore-café together. During the conversation with the reporter of Noyan Tapan, Shaqe Havan informed that by founding “Artbridge” she had the intention to support artists, publishers by organizing Exhibition-Sales for their works. Besides, by cooperating with the local publishers, “Artbridge” gains books for delivering to frontier villages and selling them at appropriate prices.
