A good tradition for the State Academy of Arts of Turkmenistan is the annual holding of a creative competition devoted to the Ahalteke horse in the Exhibition Hall of this higher educational establishment.

Once again, majestic celestial creatures are captured in paintings, sculptural compositions, ceramics, photographs, carpets, tapestries, printed products, women’s decorations, souvenirs and magnificent jewellery sets for ceremonial equestrian vestments. All this rich variety of creative imagination of artists testifies to the great love of the Turkmen for their national treasure and special pride – Ahalteke horses.
