The Altai Union of Artists’ contribution to modern culture of Siberia is great. Many exhibitions are displayed at the Exhibition hall and traveling expositions in the most remote places. A number of public art galleries have been opened in the village districts, and artists have given them hundreds of canvases, sculptures, drawings. A lot of Altai artists’ works have been recognized as masterpieces at republican, all – Union, international and foreign exhibitions. Their works are kept not only in the biggest Russian museums, such as the State Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Museum of Oriental Art, but also in a lot of private collections in Europe, America and Asia.

Altai art has kept its major feature – unique painting tradition and interest in person world, the world of our contemporary citizens. Drawings and water – colors, etchings and engravings still attract artists nowadays.
