The Central House of Artists is surrounded by the Muzeon park, its total area is 9,000 m2, and there are 27 halls inside. The cinema and concert hall, which hosts music events and film screenings, can accommodate 600 spectators.

Repertoire of the Central House of Artists

The Central House of Artists unites not only artists, but also creative people working in various other genres: filmmakers, art critics, photographers, musicians. More than 250 exhibitions are held here every year, which showcase the work of famous and emerging artists from all over Russia, as well as from the CIS and Baltic countries.

The cinema and concert hall hosts various concerts, performances, musical and poetry evenings, film screenings and experimental shows, in which various genres of art are synthesized. On the posters of the Central House of Artists you can constantly see the names of such performers as O. Arefieva, S. Kalugin, I. Zhelannaya and I. Bogushevskaya. Also on this stage, the groups "Accident" and "Kalinov Most" often perform. Modern domestic guitarists also found a grateful audience in the hall of the House of Artists. Here you can hear such masters as I. Smirno and Yu. Naumov.

The cinema and concert hall also attracts fans of jazz, both Russian and modern. The jazz repertoire of the Central House of Artists is very rich. From domestic musicians A. Kozlov, I. Butman, O.

History

Initially, in 1956, the USSR Government issued a decree on the construction of two separate buildings - for the Tretyakov Gallery and for the Exhibition Building of the Union of Artists. However, this decision was later revised in favor of one exhibition complex for both galleries. The main architects of the project were N. Sukoyan and Yu. Sheverdyaev, several research institutes were also involved in the work. The project was approved in 1964, and construction began a year later. And the opening of the Central House of Artists took place in 1979.
