An exhibition titled "Springs of Joy" by the International Union of Teacher-Artists has opened in the main hall of the G.M. Khakimova Naberezhnye Chelny Art Gallery. The exposition is dedicated to the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. The event is held as part of the national project "Youth and Children," aimed at supporting creative initiatives, patriotic education, and expanding youth access to cultural values. The exhibition can be visited by "Pushkinskaya Karta" holders – young people aged 14 to 22. The program allows free visits to museums, theaters, and exhibitions at the expense of the federal budget, making art more accessible to the new generation.
For 12 years, the regional branch of the International Union of Teacher-Artists has been successfully operating on the basis of Children's Art School No. 2. The initiator of this branch was the school director and member of the International Union of Teacher-Artists, Marina Belkina. Since its foundation and to the present day, the regional branch has been led by the Honored Teacher of the Republic of Tatarstan, Gyuzel Sharafutdinova. Currently, the regional branch of the Union has 124 members.
The opening of the exhibition took place in a warm and inspired atmosphere. Participants and guests of the vernissage were greeted and congratulated by the director of the art gallery Ilsia Zagidullina, associate professors of the Naberezhnye Chelny State Pedagogical University Svetlana Bolshakova
and Natalya Amirova, colleagues, and city artists.
A musical gift performed by 4th-year students of the Naberezhnye Chelny College of Arts, Boris Khromushin (balalaika) and Aynur Gabdrakhmanov (bayan), became a bright highlight of the event.
The exhibition will run until May 24 inclusive.
