Artists Hailing from Russia and Serbia Exhibit Their Artwork at the Festival in New Urengoy
Novy Urengoy, Russia, is gearing up for a cultural extravaganza as the International Park Sculpture Festival "Legends of the North-2025" is set to take place from August 11 to 17. This event, which has been a cherished tradition in Yamal for over two decades, will once again bring together artists from different regions of Russia and Serbia.
This year, the festival promises to be particularly exciting as it will welcome an artist from Serbia for the first time. Three masters from Nadym, Tarko-Sale, and Novy Urengoy in Yamal will also be participating. The theme of the festival will focus on local legends and ethnicity, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region.
The festival will be held on the square near the "Solyannyy" shopping center, where artists will create large-scale art objects from wood in the open air during the week-long event. The final sculptures will become part of the cityscape, adding to the unique charm of Novy Urengoy.
Stanislav Chernavskikh, Deputy Head of the Novy Urengoy Administration for Culture and Youth Policy, shared that each year brings new authors and artists to the festival, ensuring a fresh and diverse display of talent.
