In Sirius held a charity brunch “Seven senses”: the art of children became part of the gastronomic event

On November 1, a charity brunch “Seven Senses” took place at the Mantera Supreme Seaside hotel, combining contemporary art, gastronomy and inclusive creativity. The central event of the meeting was an auction of paintings created by children with special needs. The proceeds will be used to support creative inclusive projects.

For the second year in a row, Mantera Supreme Seaside has become the venue for a large-scale charity event. This year's concept of the event brought together seven emotions, seven artworks and gastronomic interpretations of children's creativity. A special guest of brunch was Comedy Club resident Ivan Polovinkin.

The auction presented seven paintings created by children with special needs under the guidance of the artist Vera Klein. Each work reflected a certain emotional state: “Excitement”, “Peace”, “Life”, “Affluence”, “Intuition”, “Passion” and “Harmony”. All works were put up for auction, and the collected funds will be sent to the Manthera Charitable Foundation for the implementation of creative inclusive initiatives.

An important feature of the event was the personal participation of young artists. Guests could get acquainted with the authors of the works, communicate with them and learn the stories behind the created works.

It is very important that the authors of the paintings - children - took part in the brunch. A personal meeting and communication gave guests the opportunity to enjoy not only taste sensations, but also to feel the emotions and mood of each child, said Ksenia Ivanova, director of the Manthera Charitable Foundation.

The gastronomic program was a continuation of the artistic concept. The project was joined by the chefs of restaurants and gastronomic projects of the tourist holding Manter Group. Among the participants are the concept chef of the holding Ilya Zakharov, brand chefs Mikhail Rodionov and Artem Kroshkin, chef Yaroslav Eliseev, Pavel Stepkin, Mikhail Maslennikov, Evgeny Kurmaz and Mikhail Oleynik, as well as Mantera Supreme pastry chef Zaur Gagloev.

Each of the participants prepared a gastronomic composition inspired by one of the paintings, its color scheme and emotional content. Instead of the traditional series of restaurant servings, the organizers offered guests the format of a Swedish line and carving stations. To create dishes together with professional chefs joined and children - authors of art works.

Musical performances and visual projections created on the basis of images of paintings complemented the program and helped to unite the various art forms into a single concept.

“It is especially valuable to me that the Seven Senses brunch has brought together children, parents, guests, chefs and the hotel team in a shared creative space.” Everyone became a part of this event: the children were able to express themselves, present their work and see how their work resonates with others. Gastronomy, music, art and co-creation created an atmosphere of openness and acceptance, in which everyone felt important and desirable, said the artist and curator of the creative part of the project Vera Klein.

Charity brunch continues the tradition of social initiatives of the hotel, started in 2025 by the Velvet Ball. Then the program combined an exhibition of contemporary art, a gala dinner and a charity auction in support of the foundations “Life in the Movement” and “Galchonok”.

Mantera Supreme Seaside emphasizes that support for social projects involves not only charitable events, but also direct participation in their organization and financing.

“Social responsibility is expressed in concrete actions. It is important for us to support initiatives that help children to reveal their abilities, give an opportunity to express themselves and be heard. We will continue to create a space for such meetings and attract partners, guests and the professional community to them, said Yulia Kapralova, General Manager of Mantera Supreme Seaside.

The hotel’s own contribution to brunch, including gastronomic accompaniment, the participation of artists, the provision of a platform for the presentation of the charitable fund and free tickets, exceeded 1.5 million rubles.

In addition, this year, Mantera Supreme Seaside decided to allocate resources to support local charities and social initiatives focused on developing inclusive projects in the region.
