The performances of the winners of the state round of the “Pearls of Independence” competition, which symbolizes the future of national art, and creative groups from children’s art schools will also be broadcast there.
Currently, preparatory work is underway involving specialists from the Culture Center and art masters. Large-scale exhibitions reflecting the national heritage as well as the rapid development of Turkmenistan during the years of Independence will be organized at the venue of the festive celebration. Preparations for this solemn holiday are also being carried out at the velayat special school of arts. In honor of the main holiday of our country, representatives of the arts school plan to perform in a concert on the national TV channel “Türkmen owazy,” which will include songs praising the Independence of our mighty Homeland, the happy era, and songs of brotherly peoples related to the International Year of Peace and Trust.

The children’s art school of Turkmenabat is planning to organize an exhibition of works by talented artists for Independence Day. Exhibitions and conferences revealing the meaning of the 34th anniversary of Turkmenistan's Independence Day will be held at the regional historical and local lore museum and the regional library. A conference entitled “Independence – the glory of the Homeland” will be held in the museum, along with a large exhibition illustrating our national heritage and the country’s achievements after gaining Independence. The library is preparing for a conference on “Having strengthened the foundation of Independence, the Homeland confidently moves forward” and for organizing a book exhibition on the theme “Melody of Independence in our country, Homeland – the land of Independence,” featuring books by the Hero Arkadag and the Arkadagly Hero Serdar, as well as works by writers and poets dedicated to the sunny land and prosperous era.
The State Music and Drama Theatre of Lebap velayat named after Seyitnazar Seydi is preparing a worthy gift for the Independence Day celebration. In honor of this memorable date, the theatre’s creative team is working on staging a new historical play based on the script “Syrak” by playwright Govshutgeldi Danatarov, People's Writer of Turkmenistan. It is worth noting that the director of the stage work is Dowran Joraev, a graduate of the Turkmen State Institute of Culture, and this is his first major creative work.
The program events held in the cultural and art institutions of the region in honor of Independence Day will become a wonderful gift for this momentous celebration.
