In program
We will show you the city in a new, unusual perspective, accompanied by an active participant in the current art scene. An exclusive private tour will introduce you to insider information from the world of contemporary art and the art market.
Your guide will be Svetlana Kalashnikova, rector of the Institute for Contemporary Art, art advisor, author and producer of educational programs for adults and children. Together with her, you will discover artistic "places of power" that are inaccessible to a wide circle of lovers of beauty, or you will discover from a new angle what you already know.
The art of St. Petersburg is not limited to the Hermitage and the Russian Museum. Our city daily creates its own unique style and experiences in the works of contemporary artists - local, touring, beginners and honored. Finding the most interesting in this variety can only be an expert who knows contemporary art from the inside, first-hand.
Especially for you, Svetlana Kalashnikova will prepare an exclusive tour of the most interesting places with an immersion in the everyday - and at the same time unique - Petersburg creative life. Together with the Russian art critic, you will:
- take individual excursions to the most important, but not public, art locations of St. Petersburg: museums, art galleries, creative spaces;
- visit restaurants and bars designed by famous artists, see interesting works that few people know about;
- find yourself in the museum storerooms, where only “insiders” are allowed;
- visit the most interesting exhibitions taking place in St. Petersburg during your visit;
- take a look at the workshops of artists who will share with you their vision of the world.
