Dear artists and gallery managers, it’s your time to shine!
We invite you to take part in the XIII International Festival of Arts “TRADITIONS AND MODERNITY” and compete for the prestigious Prize with a bronze statuette “VERA”.
The TRADITIONS AND MODERNITY Festival is one of the most famous international art events held in our time.

On the last day of the Festival it will traditionally end with a colorful and solemn awarding ceremony for the winners, who will be chosen by the honorable International Jury.
“VERA” is an international award in the visual arts. For the first time it was awarded at the closing of the first Moscow International Festival of Arts “Traditions and Modernity” in 2007.
The festival statuette was created by Viktor Mitroshin, a famous sculptor, Honored Artist of Russia, the author of prizes for many Russian and foreign competitions. To realize the creative idea the sculptor used natural materials – greenish Ural serpentine, rock crystal, bronze. By design, this statuette symbolizes faith in creativity, in love, in success – in the things without which our life is impossible. The award was for the nominees a visible embodiment of faith in themselves and a stimulus for further creativity.
