The idea of the international social and cultural project that includes a plein air and an exhibition was voiced by Russian art patron, Doctor of Economic Sciences, holder of the Russian Order of Honor Vyacheslav Zarenkov. The project is aimed at developing international cultural ties, strengthening friendship and cooperation between representatives of various countries, promoting human values, supporting cultural initiatives, reviving and developing the patronship and charity traditions.

The exposition is organized by the Belarusian Public and Cultural Association of St. Petersburg and the National State Television and Radio Company of Belarus. The project is supported by the Administration of St. Petersburg and the Belarusian Culture Ministry.

According to Pavel Sapotko, the exhibition will stay open in Belarus on 28-30 June. There are also plans to organize an exposition of paintings of Belarusian and Russian artists.
