As the "Miras" gallery reports, Rinat Voligamsi, Nicholay Marochkin and Ruslan Nigmatullin also joined these artists. Prices for artworks are set below market ones.

To date 10 works presented at the exhibition are sold, the revenues are handed over to the artist's family.

“Recently Rais Gaitov was discharged from the hospital and transported home. The reatment course in the hospital is completed. He can’t talk so far, he still needs a long-term rehabilitation treatment”, Olga Ramazanova, the gallerist said.
