TO THE MAIN PAGE OF THE SITE

When using site materials, a valid link to the relevant page is required.

Joining the Union is a fact of recognition by the professional community of the creative, pedagogical, methodological, organizational successes and merits of each member of the Union. Therefore, it is especially important that colleagues can familiarize themselves with the professional experience of each participant. The Union website is the only one in Russia information platform, which contains information about teacher-artists. Everyone has personal page with a portfolio, a gallery of children's and author's works, a presentation article illustrating work experience.

It is important for us that every act of participation in the life of the Union becomes for each of its members a confirmation of the level of professional experience and skill. We put not only our soul into each Union event, but also the points necessary for certification, which are confirmed necessary documents. The presence of a portfolio and publication of methodological experience on the all-Russian professional portal is the first degree of “initiation” that each member of the Union a priori receives (together with a membership certificate and an international pass education card, confirming professional membership in the elite caste of “teachers of art” in Europe, which has the right to free visit museums).

The second stage is getting to know our programs and projects and participating in them (more details in the section). Participation in our competitions, seminars, exhibitions, plein airs, advanced training courses for members of the Union will ALWAYS be free; or, when involving third parties, organized with discounts and special conditions. This is one of the main principles of the existence of the Union.

When organizing our events, we will certainly notice those members of our community for whom it is important not only to gain points for certification and their own satisfaction. We will notice those who care about science (research in the field of artistic pedagogy and methodology), practice (testing art materials), organizational work(implementation of one’s own art projects), work as a manager (creating one’s own workshop or studio), evaluation activities (membership in the jury and competition commissions), work to order (execution teamwork with children by order of partner companies). Active members of our community will receive the opportunity for additional development, assistance in their endeavors, our orders and additional work as it arises. This is the third stage of “initiation,” which is simply called creative friendship.

Well, above are only stars) You can propose your project, worthy of development and dissemination at the all-Russian and international level, and become the chairman of the corresponding section of the “Union”. You can become the Chairman of a regional or local branch of the Union (this requires good organizational and leadership skills, a certain authority and a request to the Board of the Union). You can become the Chairman of the Union itself - the organization is open, elections will be regular, it is important that each of us has the right to a decent assessment of our work.

My journal began many years ago with entries dedicated to joining the Union of Artists. I was young, naive and burdened with a bunch of small kids. You need to do something to keep from getting sour! Let everyone realize how awesome I am! I filled out a completely insane Soviet questionnaire, which asked if I was under occupation and if I participated in the partisan movement, took the rugs on which I wove some pictures - a fish, a still life, abstractly beautiful colors reminiscent of a forest, and went. They told me that the rugs are bad, they can buy better ones at IKEA. Artists with rugs are not accepted into the Union of Artists. What if I want to do woven images- I have to train as a tapestry maker and weave tapestries. I spat, decided that I was not going to weave tapestries and it was generally unclear why I decided to join there.
It seems to me that format and adherence to it is the motto of this organization. A step to the right, a step to the left - execution on the spot. This format was formed in the late seventies. It reminds me of a community of old Southern aristocrats who gather for forty years in a row at some Colonel Dupont's, smoke cigars and remember the old days. On the street there is already a different era, a different century, different conditions... neither they, nor their memories, nor their cigars are of interest to anyone. And if I were them, I would pay extra to people who agree to play this with them. and they manage not to accept anyone else.
This time I took the path of conformity. For three years I exhibited with our city youth and was active. They tolerated me, despite my not quite the statutory age. So I decided that how fair man obliged to marry them.
This year the youth decided to join almost full staff. They took my works with sauce, which everyone likes, and several watercolors.

And at the appointed time I went first to the section. After all, I’m joining as a scheduler, at first the schedulers looked at us. The building is pretentious, in the center of Moscow. A long corridor is filled with a bunch of artists from different cities. By the way, there are chairs there! So people-pleasing has reached there too...

There is a list on the wall, and everyone in turn is called into the room where the commission is meeting. You arrange your work, at this time the secretary reads from your personal file where you studied and what you have major exhibitions, and you go out.

We have to wait for everyone to see it. The lady secretary (this is her moment of fame. And she has been working there for 50 years) calls everyone into a separate room. Everyone huddles in the corners as she announces the results of the commission's vote.

Today was the second day, secretariat. I met a friend from Kostroma there. The train arrives at 6 am, and she sat there in the corridor until two and waited. There were many different cities. I also wanted to go to an exhibition of photographs on a Russian estate, and during the break I went there on foot. Not long on the map. Suddenly I found myself on Maroseyka. Then I got to Red Square - and immediately turned back because time was up.
I was not accepted unanimously, eight against six. So even when I indulge in conformity, I still don’t fall completely into the format :) When I was laying out the work there, at first I argued with the lady who read out that my education was a cultural institute. And last time they clung to it tightly. A real artist must have an education - Surikovsky. Well, or Stroganovsky. Even from the former Leninist pedagogue, they accept the Hoodgrafists without enthusiasm, and they may turn them away. And here, in general, there is some kind of cultural institute. I had to explain that in fact my education is a mahu, it’s pretty cool. At the end of this conversation there was a call on my phone.
My husband bought it for me the day before, angry that my phone often runs out of charge and sometimes I don’t hear calls. It is the size of a handbag and rings like the trumpet of Jericho. And now I’m arranging the work, and he’ll ring! It was the child who called to report that he had come home from school. Members of the commission, including those who were completely deaf and fell asleep, were pressed into the wall by the sound wave :)

And then I went to a friend who works in a club on Maroseyka, and we drank beer and made a sketch for memory :) while I was doing it, I thought - only a couple of hours in the artists’ union, but my drawing has become much worse :) Now all that’s left is the ID get it, and I'll be a licensed fool, with a certificate
