With the assistance of the Arts Support Fund “Kraski Zhizni” in a joint project with the Symposium of Contemporary Art (newworld-art.ru/), the art gallery “Kraski Zhizni” will be represented in Crimea in May 2025 by 5 artists from St. Petersburg. They took part in and became prize-winners of the gallery’s projects held earlier.
Here are their names: Bannik Evgenia, Tsybulin Evgeniy, Delieva Natalya, Mikhailova Natalia, Novoselova Tatyana.
A charity master class from the art gallery “Kraski Zhizni”, on March 2, was held at the A.A. Bryantsev Youth Theater for a group of children from the Family Education Assistance Center No. 12. During the master class, participants drew their favorite characters from Clive Staples Lewis’s “The Chronicles of Narnia” based on the novel “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” under the guidance of the gallery arts and fine arts teacher teacher Maria Veselovskaya.
A charity project with a creative program for mobilized families, with both lectures and art classes, is an extremely necessary and important initiative that sets many tasks and goals, which were fully realized over the course of 1.5 months. Such a project not only created conditions for parents and children for joint cultural and educational activities, but also contributed to the development of their creative potential.
In the modern world, where more and more attention is paid to technological progress, it is important not to forget about the development of creative thinking and imagination. That is why one of the main goals of the project was to foster love to creativity and art in children. Various activities and workshops allow them to learn new skills and unleash their artistic potential. For this purpose, the gallery’s teachers developed a program where each lesson introduced participants to new material and how to transform it into a painting.
Such activities helped families expand their cultural horizons, as well as acquire theoretical and practical skills. Thanks to this, parents were able to share their knowledge and experience with their children, and the children opened up to adults an extraordinary view of the world around them and an unconventional presentation of ideas. Such a union created a real family atmosphere of mutual understanding and support, which is so necessary for all project participants. Each family gained valuable experience and created a gallery of unique works.
An important part of the project for the families is the organization of a charity event aimed at transferring the projects created within the program to soldiers. The purpose of such an event is to achieve psychological support and motivation for soldiers who are in military service. Projects created together with families can become not only a symbol of support, but also a means of expressing gratitude and recognition.
Joint project with the State Foundation “Defenders of the Fatherland”.
As part of the project, the art gallery “Kraski Zhizni” provides participants with a cultural and entertainment program, which includes lectures and interactive classes and lessons in fine art. Our classes are attended by children of preschool and school age, together with their parents they take an active part in quizzes and creative master classes. We study various drawing techniques with art materials – watercolor, gouache, art crayons, markers, acrylic paints.
Children and adults enjoy working together with gratitude and a desire to visit the gallery again. We are happy to contribute to a great cause, giving everyone the opportunity to learn to see beauty in simple things and acquire new knowledge and ideas about the world of fine art!

The action was held with the Center for family and children of the Nevsky District of St. Petersburg.
During the project, we learned new things, shared impressions and, most importantly, spent time together. We traveled to Ancient Greece, learned how many forms landscapes can have and deepened our knowledge of art history, tried ourselves in many drawing techniques and even created our own unique stained glass plate!
Farewell always adds a sad note, so we invited Anna Rubtsova, who, with her immense energy, is able to infect every soul with a love of creativity. She gave children and their parents a tour, telling fascinating stories about her paintings, each of which is connected with her home and family. It is necessary to talk with the youngest about preserving traditions; Anna is able to find the right words so that everyone hears and remembers what is really important.

There are significant dates in the history of our Motherland that we should never forget and will preserve the memory of, passing them on from generation to generation.
This year marks 79 years since the victory in the Great Patriotic War (WWII) of 1941-1945. VICTORY DAY, MAY 9, is the feat of our grandfathers and grandmothers, great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers, who, at the cost of their lives, hardships, and difficulties, liberated the country from the Nazis.
This year, the studio of “Kraski Zhizni” art gallery decided to hold the “Immortal Regiment” event with its young students: boys and girls shared with us portraits of loved ones and depicted fireworks in honor of the Victory.
Dear students and guests of the gallery, in honor of Victory Day, remember your relatives – participants in the Second World War. Be proud of them and the feat accomplished!
It is important for us that young people preserve the memory of the great history of their country and the unchanging moral values of the family.
The exhibition will last from May 1 to May 12.
Entrance to the exhibition with tickets purchased for theater performances.
