Guests of the Studio in May were Moscow artists: three painters Natalia Bazhenova, Svetlana Prudovskaya and Julia Suhoveckaya, PhD in history Lola Zvonareva and the poet Alexandar Ananichev. They made a performance during their stay and presented painting of these three lady artists which painted their impressions under the lights of reflectors. At the same time Alexandar Aninachev played a guitar and sang Serbian and Russian songs. Valjevo’s actors recited Russian poets’ lyrics dedicated to Serbia. Also, Valjevo poet Ljuba Pjevcevic recited and dedicated to Russia his lyrics inspired with Russian poetry.
At the end of May ten contemporary Russian artists had a show in the Studio called “With Love Without Boundaries”.

This exhibition, as well as the whole project, was inspired with Serbian people and above all with the idea of Serbian poetess Desanka Maksimovic “The man was predestined for love and not for hatred”.
