On January 24, in the birthday of Vasily Ivanovich Surikov, the XIII Winter Surikov’s Arts Festival, dedicated to the 171st anniversary of Vasily Ivanovich Surikov, will be finished in Krasnoyarsk.

The final day of the festival will be eventful. At 12.00, the organizers offer to honor the artist’s memory with the traditional event “Bow to Surikov”. Laying flowers will be held at the monument in the Surikov Museum Estate.

The exhibition project “Surikov’s Snow” will be opened at 18.00. 22 Etudes about Krasnoyarsk, its surroundings and Khakassia from the collection of the museum will be  presented at the exhibition "Surikov and Siberia".  Residents will see exactly the etudes that the artist wrote for the monumental paintings “Yermak's conquest of Siberia ” and “Taking a snowy town”.

Here, in the square, a new art object “Russian style. Siberian lace“ will be also opened.

“The installation is dedicated to the artist's mother, who had a perfect command of needlework art. Praskovya Fedorovna Surikova (Torgashina) wove lace, embroidered with satin stitch, beads and worsted by her own designs and Vasily Ivanovich carefully used old needlework from native chests when creating famous female images”, - director of the Surikov Museum Estate Anastasia Berezinsky noted.
