Russian fairy tales, New Year’s gifts and modern gusli: RusArtStyle connects centuries and regions

The event will bring together about 250 participants from 23 regions of the country. Their works will be presented by masters from Moscow, Leningrad, Vladimir, Vologda, Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Orel, Rostov, Sverdlovsk, Tambov, Tver, Tula and Yaroslavl regions, Krasnodar and Krasnoyarsk territories, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, Republics of Tatarstan, Crimea and Dagestan. The international geography of the exhibition will include Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

The mission of the RusArtStyle project is to create a “living fusion” of cultural heritage and current trends in art and creativity, to show the formation of a new Russian style, where the original identity of the peoples of Russia is harmoniously combined with current technologies of today. Guests are waiting for author's ceramics and porcelain, rare jewelry, enamelled art, art products made of glass, metal, stone and leather, the finest lace, embroidery, carving and wood painting, exclusive artistic dolls, painting, articles of down and felt, as well as designer, ethnic clothing and accessories. Visitors will be able not only to enjoy the aesthetics, but also to find original handmade gifts for the New Year.

One of the bright points of attraction of the exhibition will also be an exposition dedicated to the image of the horse. Art products depicting an animal are organically combined into a holistic composition: patterns move from wood to fabrics, come to life in decor and architectural details. The exhibition will be an ideal space for atmospheric photographs.

A special place among the original exhibits will be occupied by birch bark sculptures of the honorary artist of Russia, the repeated winner of international exhibitions, the owner of the I.K. Aivazovsky gold medal Grigory Mishin. The continuation of the artistic series will be the works of the “nuggets” of Igor Shevchenko, created from metal, glass, wood and antique parts. Thanks to moving parts, they invariably cause great interest in both children and adults.

As part of the XII exhibition-fair "RusArtStyle" will be held the XI All-Russian festival of reading, self-development and creativity "Toys come from a book", organized by the publishing house "Format-M". Its main theme – “Russian folk tales” – is timed to a significant date: the 200th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding folklorist, collector and researcher of folk art Alexander Nikolaevich Afanasyev, to whom Russian culture owes the preservation of the best fabulous traditions. Guests of all ages are waiting for more than 40 free master classes, as well as a concert program.

An important part of the fairy-tale theme of the event will be an international special project: kites with drawings of African children based on Pushkin’s fairy tales, created under the guidance of the Belgian-Togolese artist Jean Kumi, will hover over the exhibition.

- It's not just an exhibition. This is a gesture: the space of RusArtStyle will become common – for Russia, for Africa, for children’s imagination and for Pushkin’s word, which sounds on different continents and finds a response in the hearts of those who are still learning to see the world. Art does not “descend from above” – it rises upwards, to the sky that unites all.

The business program of RusArtStyle will include lectures, creative meetings and presentations, and the cultural program will reveal the folklore wealth of the peoples of Russia. Thus, the original team “Ak Tirme” – a regular participant of TV programs on the federal channels “Good Morning”, “Field of Wonders”, “Best of All” – will introduce Bashkir folk art, traditional costume, music, games and dances.

On November 18, musician-guslar Kirill Bogomilov, whose music sounds in the films “The Crowd” and “The Last Bogatyr”, will present the program “Gusli: the code of the nation 2.0”, in which solo authentic epic games will be combined with electronic timbres and neofolk rhythms. The culmination will be a famous folk melody in neo-processing, which the hall will perform together with the artist.

Salon "Territory of Russian Fashion" will present new autumn-winter collections, in which national motifs are harmoniously combined with modern cut. On November 20 and 21, guests are waiting for fashion shows from domestic designers. Headliner will be the enterprise of art craft with a 100-year history "Holuyskaya line", which recently successfully debuted at the Moscow fashion week in the Arena with a collection dedicated to the Russian wedding.

Salon "EcoVlasno" will introduce guests to domestic farm products: craft cheeses, exclusive teas, traditional confectionery and honey - with the possibility of tasting.

The bright final chord of the exhibition will be the “Bead Parade”. On November 22, more than a hundred participants will walk around the hall in handmade beads. Everyone can join the unusual procession - it is enough to come in their own jewelry.

The exhibition "RusArtStyle" was included in the Action Plan of the Government of the Russian Federation for the implementation of the strategy of the state cultural policy. The project will be held with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation, the Committee for Culture of the Moscow CCI, the GBU “Small Business of Moscow”, the Association “Organizations of Folk Art Crafts, Artists and Artists “Heritage and Traditions”, the Eurasian Association of Ethnodesigners.
