An exhibition opened at the Dzheyrakh Community Center, the result of a week-long plein air project involving 30 artists—professional painters, architects, and amateurs.
The group has been traveling to picturesque places in Russia and around the world for 15 years. This time, the artists chose mountainous Ingushetia. For a week, they worked outdoors, painting towers, gorges, and landscapes of the Dzheyrakh region.
The group included members of creative unions of artists and architects of Russia, as well as amateurs: doctors, teachers, lawyers, and architects. Each artist has their own style: watercolor, graphic art, and pencil. But they all shared one thing: mountainous Ingushetia became a source of inspiration. They worked at different times of day and in different weather conditions, each time discovering new colors and images.
The final event was a concert in the assembly hall of the Dzheyrakh Community Center. Local artists performed a traditional dance for the guests, wearing a kurkhars headdress, and the Ingush song "Lorsa Lida." The artists themselves also took to the stage, creating a lively cultural exchange.
The Ingushetia Ministry of Culture and Tourism provided support to the group, arranging a meeting, accommodation, and assistance for the participants throughout the trip.
