in the Museum of Water, in the Derzhavin Museum, in the program of the Imperial Gardens of Russia Festival in the Mikhailovsky Garden of the Russian Museum, in Horse Club Derby. Each collection symbolizes one of the elements: Earth, Water and Air whereas Fire is the element
of creativity of free artists.
PAINTING, WOOD, NATURE inspire artists project participants for creation of new collections. The Mikhailovsky Garden is a perfect space for the exhibition and habitation of painted wooden butterflies – representatives of the Air element.
