Kislovodsk, a gem nestled in the Caucasus Mountains, is set to become a beacon of environmental creativity with the upcoming launch of "Vtorichka," the first art residency in the Stavropol Territory to showcase art made from recycled waste and bulky discards. This innovative project, scheduled to open its doors on April 21st, cleverly merges artistic expression with environmental awareness.

Kicking Off with a Citywide Clean Up: Leading by Example

The grand opening of Vtorichka will be a momentous occasion, coinciding with a citywide clean-up initiative. This symbolic act underscores Kislovodsk's commitment to tackling waste management issues head-on. By actively engaging residents in cleaning their city, the administration paves the way for a more sustainable future.

Breathing New Life into Waste: Renowned Artists Transform Discarded Materials

The art on display at Vtorichka won't just be visually captivating; it will carry a powerful message. Professional artists, whose works have graced prestigious venues like the New Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and the Museum of Modern Art in St. Petersburg, will be breathing new life into discarded materials. Imagine transforming a pile of plastic bottles into a thought-provoking sculpture or a heap of old tires into a whimsical art installation. Vtorichka promises a unique artistic experience that will challenge our perceptions of waste and inspire environmental action.

A Green Oasis for Eco-Conscious Minds: More Than Just an Art Gallery

Vtorichka's location, nestled amidst the verdant green space near the Kislovodsk City Hospital, is a perfect fit for its eco-friendly ethos. This gallery aspires to be more than just an exhibition space; it envisions itself as a vibrant hub for eco-activists and residents alike. Vtorichka has the potential to foster a community dedicated to environmental responsibility, promoting dialogue and collaborative action towards a cleaner, greener Kislovodsk.

Looking Ahead: A Catalyst for Change

The launch of Vtorichka is a significant step forward for Kislovodsk. This bold initiative serves as a springboard for a larger project aimed at promoting responsible waste management practices throughout the city. The introduction of new waste sorting rules and educational campaigns alongside Vtorichka's artistic expression can create a powerful force for positive change. Kislovodsk is setting an inspiring example, demonstrating how a city can embrace sustainability through creativity and community engagement.
