Youth in Tomsk attend the "TAVRIDA.ART" young art festival held in Crimea.
In the realm of culture, arts, music, and creative industries, Tavrida.ART stands as a beacon for young professionals worldwide. This state-supported project, backed by the President, Rosmolodezh, and the Ministry of Culture of Russia, offers a unique platform for learning, engagement, and talent showcasing [1].
Tavrida.ART welcomes participants aged 14 to 40 from all corners of the globe. The festival, known for its extensive network and engagement, has seen over 289,000 young professionals from 89 Russian regions participate, with over 5,000 expert mentors lending their knowledge [1]. Each year, around 1,600 participants are expected, a number that continues to grow with the support of a presidential order [3].
Participation opportunities are diverse, ranging from festival attendance to contests, workshops, study tours, and year-round educational projects. The festival offers short-term study tours called "New Generation" that enable participation and learning experiences [2]. Year-round educational programming includes workshops, mentorship, and artistic collaboration, focusing on blending tradition and innovation in various creative disciplines [1][2].
To join, applicants need to apply within the age range. The festival and its artistic cluster also facilitate year-round educational programming, providing a platform for talent development and cultural exchange [1][2].
For those who may not make it to an educational program, volunteering or coordinating at Tavrida.ART offers an alternative way to engage. The festival provides free transportation, accommodation in tents, and access to special activities like lectures, creative meetings, and presentations [4].
Participation in all Tavrida.ART programs is free but based on a competitive basis, requiring a video resume and a creative task for consideration [5]. The "Meghanom" Academy programs, supported by the Russian Ministry of Culture, are year-round and have no age limit, aimed at enhancing the professional skills of individuals already experienced in their fields [6].
Upon returning to their regions, participants may implement creative products resulting from educational programs, such as recording a song in a professional recording studio or a collaborative project with experts [7]. The Tavrida.ART music label may provide further promotion for these creative products.
The Tavrida art cluster also offers summer schools covering a wide range of creative fields, including media, gastronomy, tourism, ecology, and scientific technologies. These summer schools last 7 days and are designed for participants aged 18 to 35 [8].
The Tavrida.ART festival, held this year with 4,477 participants from 89 regions of Russia and 21 countries, provides an atmosphere and experience that brings new friends, ideas, inspiration, motivation, and unforgettable memories [9]. Many participants return to the art cluster after the festival to attend educational programs or as ambassadors, further solidifying Tavrida.ART's role as a significant platform for young creatives.
