29 января 2019

The great master, being authorized by the board of arts of the Vitebsk province, invited famous artists and sculptors as teachers – Malevich and Lisitky worked in the workshops. For the anniversary, an exhibition from the archives of Vitebsk region was presented to visitors. Also guests were invited to the performance. In the production, the actors recreated the events of a century ago. The building itself is of particular value. It survived even during the Great Patriotic War, while Vitebsk itself was almost completely destroyed.
