Background

About the Project
The international exhibition project «In Family Unity – Unity of the World» has evolved from the preceding Russian exhibition “In Family Unity – Unity of the Nation” initiated and being held by the Creative-production Corporation «The Ekaterinburg Art Foundation». The project is devoted to the eternal topic of the Family, Parents and Children represented by sculptures and photographs.
 
Background
The Russian segment of the exhibition (only Russian participants) was initiated in 2005 and has been held within 25 Russian cities. In 2008-2009 the exhibition was exhibited in Moscow for four times in the following venues: The Kremlin, The Council of Federation of the Federal Assembly of Russia, The State Duma. The exhibition was shown to the ambassadors of the foreign states as a part of cultural programs of the important international events.
Positive results of the exhibition activities in the variety of Russian regions made us believe that at the present moment we can already work on the international exhibition project “In Family Unity – Unity of the World”.
 
Aim of the Project
The project aims to promote eternal human values by means of sculpture art and photography.
The main goal of the exhibition is to unite the creative potential of sculptors and photographers from different countries in order to establish universal values and national peculiarities on the topic Family, Parents and Children. 
 
Plans and Prospect
The idea is to unite 100 sculptors and 100 photographers from one hundred countries around the globe. We plan to organize the exhibit in as many foreign countries as possible. The first international exhibitions will be held in Russia. Afterwards the exposition will leave Russian Federation and travel abroad where it will be held consecutively within two different venues: at the main State University of a country and at the international airport.
