They all represent great Schools of Fine Art, such as St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Art, Surikov and Stroganov Institutes of Fine Art in Moscow, Kiev Academy of Fine Art, Rhode Island School of Design and more. During annual pop-up exhibitions in different towns of Massachusetts and Maine Russian-Ukrainian cultural, educational and music programs being offered to Gallery supporters and visitors.
Art and culture has no borders and helps mutual understanding between American and Russian people.
I have been fortunate to visit some of the Koenig’s events at different venues in Massachusetts (over the years) and their shows have always been excellent. An array of very talented artists; I was happy to purchase a small lithograph print of a tea serving and it is one of my most cherished pieces. Thank you and stay well always.
Thank you very much for your high opinion about our gallery and programmed events at the exhibitions, Ms. Beland!
We are looking forward to see you at the Cambridge Open Studios on May 13-14th, from noon- 5 30 PM. We will exhibit at the Big Picture Framing studio near Harvard Sq ( 1100 Mass. Avenue.)
