May 20, 2014: The opening of The International Children's Art Exhibition "Let's Paint Together" was hosted by the Taganrog Central Chekhov Public Library. Young artists from Russia and Germany participated in the project, organized by German non-government organization "Forum Russische Kultur Gütersloh".
In 2009 "Forum Russische Kultur Gütersloh" initiated the start of cooperation between two art groups - Taganrog-based art studio "Sobitiye" headed by Mrs. Svetlana Sergeeva and "MalschuleARTige" studio in Gütersloh, Germany headed by Mrs. Svetlana Samsonova. In the last five years their cooperation resulted in various mutual exchanges and projects, including art shows held in both Taganrog and Gütersloh.
This is the forth consecutive year exhibit held at Chekhov Public Library. Young artists from age 6 to 14 years captured the nature's beauty, their favorite fairy tale, cartoon or literary characters. The diplomas and certificates to participants of the 4th International exhibit were presented by Mrs. Natalia Petrovskaya, Russian representative of "Forum Russische Kultur Gütersloh" and Svetlana Sergeeva of "Sobitiye" art studio. Selected artworks will be displayed in the exhibition hall of the historical building of the Chekhov Municipal Public Library until the end of May 2014.
