Art Russia

Contemporary Art Fair and International Art forum

About event

From March 30 to April 2, 2023 at the Art Russia fair in Gostiny Dvor 31 galleries and more than 100 independent authors: painters, photographers, sculptors demonstrated their works. More than 50 experts in contemporary art, art business and related niches spoke at the art forum.

Over 25,000 people visited the fair over 4 days.

Art Russia 2023 raised important topics: monetization of art by novice authors, the value of creativity in an era of change, promotion of rare trends and prospects for the development of Russian art.

The very young creative generation was also covered. At the fair there was a workshop where children made their own plaster figures, customized clothes, created stained glass windows and amazing desserts.

Without a doubt, the 4th Art Russia Fair will be remembered as one of the most grandiose events in the sphere of contemporary art in 2023.
