On 22 September, the Kvartira S Gallery, together with the Foundation for the Development of Small Towns, Centrocredit Bank, and the restaurant "18.12" (Moscow), held a gala reception and vernissage titled "An Evening of Creative Journeys." The main purpose of the evening was to introduce business leaders and patrons to thematic directions and travel formats that were new to our country, such as constructive and creative tourism.

In one of the halls of the restaurant "18.12," an exhibition presented more than forty works by artists from the Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Smolensk, and Tula regions. Throughout the celebration, watercolor artists made sketches of everything taking place in the halls.

The organizers of the evening prepared refreshments and a vibrant musical program. A brass ensemble of Bolshoi Theatre soloists performed chamber miniatures of past centuries, and the Hover Dance production center presented its new project "Provincial Balls," which allowed guests to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of imperial times and take part in colorful stage productions.

The visual program of the reception concluded with a charity auction, the proceeds of which went to support artists from the regions.
