The best galleries and independent artists from all over the country
A total of 100 artists and galleries passed the curator’s selection from several thousand applications. The fair offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of art: at each stand, you can talk to the artist and learn more about their work.
An opportunity to start collecting your own art
Contrary to popular belief, good art is not necessarily worth millions of rubles. Of course, the fair will also feature works by famous masters, but the price range for art pieces starts from 50,000 rubles. The work of a young artist can increase in price many times over in just a few years. All works are curated and each one can be considered a promising investment.
New connections and acquaintances
The art fair is a meeting place for artists, art experts, collectors, business people and celebrities. Here new creative collaborations are born and acquaintances are made that are unlikely to happen in everyday life.
Spend time with the whole family
Visiting the fair with children is a great opportunity to instill an interest in art in your child. The Art Russia fair is known for its extensive children’s section, where children under 7 can attend free of charge. Hundreds of creative workshops are held for young art enthusiasts, led by experienced instructors, ranging from creating 3D models to making dreamcatchers. Artists aged 17 and under will present their works under the theme “Through the Looking Glass of Dreams.” While the younger generation is getting acquainted with the world of art, parents can attend guided tours and listen to lectures by art experts.
Interactive Art
This year, visitors to the fair can expect a refreshed art forum: not just discussions and lectures, but interactive formats for maximum immersion. For example, St. Petersburg artists from the Mader Nort creative association will present a two-part performance in the style of academic underground art, while the Grand Bureau Theatre will present the philosophical dramedy “Roses and Chess,” an elegant and profound parable in the neoclassical style. Together with the masters of the Creative Writing School, the audience will try literary sketching: a quick way to write texts as freely as artists sketch. Experts from the Serdyuk architectural bureau, together with the audience, explore how different generations perceive the ideal public space.
