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.
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.

based on the author’s short story “Disservice” by Master Andrey Loginov
Participating:
trio “Loiko” (Sergey Erdenko, violin, vocals; Mikhail Savichev, guitar, vocals; Arthur Gorbenko, violin, vocals). A world-famous troupe that raised gypsy music to an academic level, performing on the most prestigious stages in the world. The director, Sergei Erdenko, is a recognized virtuoso violinist.
The text is read by Yuri Baldychev, a theater and film artist, winner of many awards.
The curator of the project – Violetta Prigozhina.
Producer – Valery Tkachenko.
The young gypsy’s selflessness in love and devoted friendship collides with callous cruelty, which leads to an unexpected dramatic outcome.
Today, here are not many artists who touch on such a timely topic of cultural heritage, as well as the issue of preserving architectural monuments and the loss of unique natural objects.
Each of her landscapes, be it the ruins of destroyed Palmyra, an abandoned estate or the motif of a temple that can no longer be restored, has a quality of tangibility of the images seen that is rare for even professional painters to convey.
In any of the submitted works, an attentive viewer can see a sensitive and reverent attitude to the plot, carefully written details and a desire to convey the idea of what important things are leaving us irrevocably. But, despite the seriousness of the topic, the brightness of the picturesque tones inspires hope in the viewer, inviting once again to remind and seriously think about the issues of our time, to reflect on the importance of historical memory in individual nations and humanity as a whole. I can only sincerely rejoice that a person who understands art as an effective language for talking about the cultural code of our century has occupied a strong niche in our artistic community.
