President of St. Petersburgers Worldwide Club supports holding of the Great Chinese Calligraphy and Painting exhibition

The Great Chinese Calligraphy and Painting exhibition has received official support from the St. Petersburgers Worldwide Club represented by Mikhail Piotrovsky, President of the Club and General Director of the State Hermitage Museum. Presentation of the exhibition due December 14 will feature a welcome speech by Valentina Orlova, Chairman of the Board of the St. Petersburgers Worldwide Club.

The project, scheduled for 2019 and dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between China and Russia, is of great cultural and international importance, since today China is not just a strategic partner to Russia, but a true friend, and good relations between our political leaders contribute to an active cultural dialogue.

In his message to the exhibitors, Mr. Piotrovsky emphasizes the invaluable role of cultural figures in the international space, saying they “build bridges connecting different cultures and different countries. The exhibition of Chinese calligraphy in Moscow is one of those bridges.”

At the exhibition, Moscow audience will get a chance to see the depth and charm of Chinese calligraphy and the uniqueness of Chinese hieroglyphs, one of the oldest writing systems in the world. An extensive business and cultural program during the days of the exhibition will encompass a wide range of discussions dedicated to the development of cultural dialogue and implementation of joint education, bilateral tourism and youth policy projects.

Participants of the exhibition are China’s leading calligraphers and artists presenting a whole range of styles from classical to avant-garde. The Great Chinese Calligraphy and Painting expo boasts quite unique exhibits and promises to become an outstanding cultural event. For the first time citizens and visitors of Moscow will get a chance to see a number of masterpieces that haven’t been previously exhibited in Russia or anywhere in the world.

The St. Petersburgers Worldwide Club trusts the scale and level of the event will meet the highest expectations, and wishes its organizers success.
