The workshop is the unique complex, combining two art-studios, in which modern artists implement their masterful ideas and the classroom, in which artists share their experience with their colleagues, hand down the experience and conduct master-classes for those who want to learn how to paint.

A special place of the workshop is the gallery, where the artists exhibit their paintings and studies. Here one can see, choose and buy the item one likes or make an order for a work of art.
