Ministry of Economic Development:

Since 2021, the growth of gross added value of art industries in the creative economy has amounted to 11%.

One of the national goals is to increase the share of creative industries in the country's economy to 6% of GDP by 2030. In 2024, the art industry was designated as a separate sector within the Unified Plan for Achieving National Development Goals in Russia through 2030. Although the art industry's share of gross value added (GVA) in the overall GVA of the creative economy is relatively small (approximately 2%), the sector has high growth potential. This was stated by Russian Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov during a meeting with representatives of the art industries. Participants discussed key areas for the development of the art industry as an independent and promising sector of the creative economy.

According to the minister, Russia has accumulated unique cultural assets whose value will be preserved in the long term. The state's task is to create the conditions for unlocking this potential.

"Since 2021, the art industries' GVA has grown by approximately 11%. Their contribution to the overall creative economy is approximately 2%. The goal by 2030 is to maintain this figure at 2.3%," emphasized Maxim Reshetnikov.

The discussion focused on three main areas of focus for expert discussion. The first focused on establishing clear "rules of the game" for interaction between the art industry and the economy as a whole, including defining the industry's boundaries and assessing the performance of all its participants. The second focused on assessing the current state and identifying growth opportunities, where engaging both the professional collector community and a new mass audience plays a key role. The third area of focus focused on identifying barriers and accelerating development factors, such as the creation of creative clusters, the implementation of interdisciplinary projects with museums and the digital sector, and the replication of successful regional practices that promote territorial branding.

"We need to work with experts to define the sector's boundaries and develop practical objectives. These include identifying the sector's key features, ways to generate high added value, and potential opportunities for attracting investment in contemporary art," emphasized Maxim Reshetnikov.

The minister proposed focusing on the most substantive discussion possible, drawing on the practical experience of market participants. Case studies and expert understanding of industry development patterns are critical for developing an effective and efficient system of government support, he added.

"This is the first approach to 'digitizing' the art industries as part of the creative economy. Such industry meetings with representatives have already become traditional and help identify development focal points and fine-tune sector regulations. The results of these discussions will form the basis for practical actions and will be reflected in the Strategy for the Development of the Creative Economy through 2036," noted Tatyana Ilyushnikova, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia.

During the meeting Association of Galleries presented the results of an art industry study conducted jointly with Pacioli Consulting in 2024-2025. The experts, among other things, defined the art industry and the art market, described the constituent entities, and identified key components that support the industry's functioning and development. According to their data, the industry employs approximately 113,000 people.

"This is an important, systematic meeting with those representing the professional cultural community to discuss the art industry not only from a cultural perspective, but also from an economic one. We outlined a number of barriers and growth opportunities for the art industry, based on research data and a realistic assessment of the industry's situation," commented Sofya Trotsenko, founder of the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art and member of the Board of the Galleries Association.

Participants also discussed key issues in the development of the art industry: the need for a comprehensive approach to industry policy, the use of the creative potential of art in national and regional development, the expansion of museum collections with contemporary art, legal aspects of intellectual property and the status of contemporary artists, the conditions for the production and exhibition of works, as well as the international promotion and export of Russian artists.

The meeting was also attended by Irina Sedykh, Chair of the Board of Trustees of the OMK-Uchastie Charitable Foundation, founder of the Vyksa Festival, and philanthropist; Vasily Tsereteli, Academician, President of the Russian Academy of Arts, Director of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and Honored Artist of the Russian Federation; Alisa Prudnikova, Program Director of the GES-2 Community Center and the V-A-C Foundation; and others.

On September 2, the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art hosted an Evening of Vernissages. Eleven resident galleries presented new exhibitions, and the Winzavod Open Studios hosted a performance by Andrey Soul, the 12th season's resident.

Winzavod's Open Studios hosted a music and dance performance, "Sudden Rave," by artist Andrey Soul as part of the season's final exhibition, "This Is Not Enough, This Is Too Much, This Is Enough." At 15-minute intervals, the conventional space of the gallery's white cube transformed into a nighttime party—a platform for the artist's self-expression, where Andrey and other participants "took over" the space with sound, light, and dance.

The pop/off/art gallery presented Vasily Kononov-Gredin's exhibition "Interior Option." For the duration of the project, the gallery space became a total installation, featuring a new series of photographs, sculpture, and art objects. The space features altered objects with familiar characteristics—an exploration of subjectivity, individual experience, deep memory, and the limits of autonomy.

The exhibition will run until October 12.

XL Gallery opened Igor Samolet's solo exhibition "Choice." The project is based on the artist's reflections on the decision-making process: mundane or critical, simple or unthinkable. Exploring uncertainty as a distinct phenomenon, Samolet used his own experiences as the basis for a complex image—a kinetic "choice setting."

The exhibition will run until October 11.

Vasily Slonov's exhibition "Who Are We to Each Other?" opened at the 11.12 Gallery. This new project presents a vision of an artistic universe brought to life by the artist. Using just one element—a brick—Slonov reimagines the world in all its diversity.

The exhibition will run until October 18.

VLADEY Space opened a solo exhibition, "Funny Room," by artist Inal. In this new series, the artist revisits his own childhood experiences with reflections in the funhouse mirrors of traditional funhouses and their subsequent interpretations. In fairy tales and popular culture, characters depicted in funhouse mirrors are often considered evil—but is this really the case?

The exhibition will run until October 17.

The a-s-t-r-a Gallery presented a memorial exhibition, "The Way to Cronus," by Valentin Korzhov (1975–2022), marking the artist's 50th anniversary. Korzhov created diverse and seemingly disparate works, yet always united by a common purpose. Through them, he found and defined himself.

The exhibition will run until October 17.

PENNLAB Gallery has opened a new project, "Digital Shadows of Words," by artist Yulia Pavlova. This research explores the memory of Chechen poet Arbi Mamakayev and attempts to rethink how the ways of preserving and reproducing the past are being shaped today. The project asks what forms of memory are preserved today, as physical media lose their significance and digital media remain unstable and susceptible to manipulation.

The exhibition will run until October 15.

HSE ART Gallery, in partnership with the Gallllery platform, presented the curatorial project "Are You Ready for the Future?" by collector Pierre-Christian Brochet. The exhibition is less a display of his collection than a reflection on the institutional nature of collecting.

The exhibition will run until October 14.

FUTURO Gallery opened a duet exhibition by Daniil Antropov and Sergey Karev, "Objects of Surface, Space, and Beauty." The exhibition brings together two artists who address similar issues: what are the limits of visual art's expressive potential, and where do the boundaries between traditional artistic forms and media blur? The project's distinctiveness lies in the way both artists subvert traditional notions of artistic mediums.

The exhibition will run until October 17.

On the evening of the Vernissage, the Triangle Gallery transformed into an open studio for Chinese artist Yirui Fan, who was preparing new works for an upcoming exhibition at the gallery. In his work, Yirui Fan explores the intersection of Eastern and Western visual traditions with contemporary philosophical thought, using abstract painting as the primary vehicle for his conceptual practice.

Totibadze Gallery opened Yulia Kirakosyan's exhibition "The Story of One Summer." The artist's works are highly decorative, typically composed of multiple planes that create a mosaic of images. The gallery's new project is dedicated to Yulia Kirakosyan's summers—fresh, airy, filled with symbols and signs that evoke images and memories.

The exhibition will run until October 12.

FINEART Gallery presented Alexander Rukavishnikov's solo project "3/4 Sleeve." The artist is a sculptor and martial artist. Art occupies 3/4 of Alexander's life, and martial arts the rest. These 3/4 Sleeves can also be divided into sculpture and painting/graphics. The exhibition features works created in the spirit of Zen wisdom.

The exhibition will run until October 19.

The BIS ART gallery hosted the opening of the exhibition "Get-togethers" by artists Shishik and Ophelia t. Home is a place where walls bear witness to human authenticity. Where people take off their masks and allow themselves to be vulnerable, strange, and real. The artists' works are a conversation about how people shape their personal space, and how space shapes people.

The exhibition will run until September 16.

Admission to the galleries is free. Please check the gallery's website for opening hours. For full details and contact information, please visit the gallery's website. on the website.

The exhibition "Once Upon a Time: The School of Russian Fairy Tales" will hold an open day ahead of the new academic year.

Free admission: the exhibition "Once Upon a Time: The School of Russian Fairy Tales" invites you to visit before its relaunch

On August 3, children and adults will be able to visit the exhibition free of charge, participate in interactive quests, win gifts for September 1st, and try their hand at creating one of the exhibits—a large-scale coloring book based on fairy tales, which the organizers plan to integrate into the exhibition.

Exhibition Once Upon a Time: School of Russian Fairy Tales It became one of the most visited in the country and was extended twice due to popular demand. 80,000 visitors during its run, a huge amount of UGC content on social media, numerous rave reviews, and overall, a significantly increased interest in Russian folklore are the project's main results.

"We believe the success of our exhibition lies in our ability to create a platform for rethinking traditions, learning, and a unique, deeply immersive experience for all ages and audiences. And here, the school's concept played a particularly important role—presenting seemingly well-known stories, narratives, and characters in a format that offers new insights, nuances, and details, as well as the rules by which the Russian fairytale world and its characters live. This made our project unique, unlike any other fairytale-themed exhibition.

"We decided to hold an Open Day for everyone who hasn't yet had a chance to experience our magical "school," as August will be the last month the exhibition will be open with its current display. "On September 1st, when everyone goes back to school, our 'Once Upon a Time: The School of Russian Fairy Tales' will take its magical vacation for a relaunch, ready to reopen in October with a completely updated exhibition," says Ilya Dybov, the project's producer, sharing the results and news.

The new "academic" year at the School of Russian Fairy Tales promises to further surprise and delight all visitors. Maintaining the school's original concept, the project team plans to add even more interactive exhibits that have become so beloved by the audience, build new impressive magical installations, and, of course, share unique knowledge about the fairytale world that can only be gained at the "Once Upon a Time: School of Russian Fairy Tales" exhibition.

"To understand what this exhibition lacks, you had to live in it. We've lived with it for three seasons—and in October, we'll show it from a completely different perspective: in terms of presentation, material, and scope. But most importantly, we'll preserve what's so dear to us in the current exhibition. This is an exhibition with a very specific language, both visual and expositional, which we were fortunate to find. We'll preserve it," says Dmitry Khankin, founder of the Triumph Gallery.

Admission to the exhibition on the Open Day on August 3rd is by free tickets purchased at the entrance.

The exhibition "Once Upon a Time: The School of Russian Fairy Tales" runs until August 31st and will reopen in a revamped format on October 1st. Stay tuned for updates on the project's website and social media!

September 6-7, CERAMANIA festival at the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center

Free admission, by rregistration.

The St. Petersburg ceramics and craft festival "Keramania" is heading to Moscow again.

For six years, Ceramania has maintained its title as the most beautiful festival in St. Petersburg: decorators, partners from the design and floral industries, creative communities, and music and gastronomic projects are involved in creating the atmosphere and mood.

The 30th Ceramania festival in Green Hangar will be the final stop in the team's series of outdoor summer events, bringing the street festival season to a close.

Each Keramania is built around a specific concept. This time, the theme was MASQUERADE—a space of transformations where the boundaries between reality and play are blurred.

The masquerade here is a ritual farewell to summer: through art and craft, festival participants and guests experience the cycles of nature and culture. The mask becomes a tool for finding an answer to the question: "Who am I without my usual roles?"

The organizers received over 350 applications from artisans and selected the most outstanding projects for participation. Guests will see booths from 150 artisans from across Russia, including many from St. Petersburg. Guests will have the opportunity to meet artists working not only with ceramics, but also with wood, glass, metal, and textiles. The market area will feature tableware, home decor, and jewelry made from porcelain and ceramics. Manufacturers of glazes and ceramic tools will also be represented.

Festival activities:

1. The free sculpting zone is Keramania's special highlight. Here, you can work with clay for free: sit at a table and sculpt as much as you like—from a miniature figurine to a large-scale composition. It's the perfect place for children and adults alike, where creativity becomes effortless and inspiring.

2. Master classes – from traditional to modern:

– painting eco-bags (shoppers)– mosaic from colored glass– stained glass in the Tiffany technique– hand-molding and painting of ceramics– sewing soft toys of fantasy creatures

The masters' specialty is that they carefully preserve ancient techniques but present them with a modern twist. These aren't just lessons, but an immersion into the culture of the craft.

Both zones—the workshop and free sculpting—will be open throughout the festival and are suitable for both adults and children.

While children are engrossed in creative activities, parents can stroll among the stands, choose ceramics or handmade jewelry, and fully immerse themselves in the masquerade atmosphere.

Keramania has prepared entertainment for the whole family:

– educational lectures from experts – beauty zone from the Samosvet brand – children's interactive show

An integral part of the festival is the food court with delicious treats: cheeses, sweets, drinks, and a cozy relaxation area.

CERAMANIA is always a great idea for a family weekend. There's plenty to do for little explorers, aesthetic enthusiasts, and connoisseurs of unique art.

September 6-7, 12:00–20:00 Moscow, Winzavod Contemporary Art Center, Green Hangar (4th Syromyatnichesky Lane, 1/8, building 6), Dog friendly

Yandex Museum will host its seventh annual festival about people and technology.

On September 27 and 28, Yandex Museum will host its seventh annual festival about people and technology. The program is suitable for both adults and children: lectures by engineers and artists, master classes, quests and quizzes, interactive exhibits, a rover race, video game tournaments, and a retro arcade area. The event will be held at the Winzavod Center for Contemporary Art, and admission is free.

Each location consists of three thematic blocks: retro, technological art, and Yandex. In the exhibition area, you can receive a compliment from a Smart Camera, play a game from Yandex Education, or participate in a delivery robot race. For those who prefer hands-on activities, there's a workshop run by "Repairers of the Beautiful," where you'll learn how to solder and give electronics a second life. There's also a place for nostalgia: the "Vidachestvo" project will display rare televisions and 20th-century equipment. The Polytechnic Museum will let you peer inside microchips and lamps using microscopes and even assemble an electrical circuit. Visitors can also enjoy works by the "Birch Prompt" art group and an aquarium with a robotic fish—it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

"The Yandex Museum Festival grew out of the 'Demodulation' event. This year, we updated the format: while the central themes previously centered on inventions of the past, the program will now focus on technologies that permeate all spheres of life. In addition to the historical exhibits, we've added a lecture series on science and art.

There will be workshops for children. For example, in the "Atelier of the Future," you can design your own outfit, and artificial intelligence will instantly transform it into a 3D model on a virtual runway. In the "Modern Lighting Technologies" class, you'll learn how to assemble circuits from light bulbs. And at the "Control a Robot!" workshop, everyone will try their hand at being a developer and complete missions with a delivery rover. Indie musicians will also perform at the event. At the festival, you'll also be able to buy Yandex merchandise and visit the stands of the project's partners: the Cryptography Museum, "Robostation," the Pinball Museum, the Telephone History Museum, leading Russian universities (ITMO and HSE), and others.

The Yandex Museum Festival will be held in Moscow at the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center: 4th Syromyatnichesky Lane, 1/8, Building 8, Entrance 14. Admission is free, but pre-registration is required. on the website.
