From December 5-7, Nizhny Novgorod will host the regional festival-forum “Russian Creative Week – Volga”. The event will bring together more than 50 leading experts, government and business representatives, completing the cycle of regional creative weeks in 2024. The TV BRICS media network acts as the international information partner of the forum.
At the meeting, the participants will consider topical issues of the development of creative industries and the introduction of innovative solutions into the business and culture of the regions. The business and festival programs of the forum include more than 30 events: plenary sessions, master classes, lectures, expert discussions, presentations of industry research, musical jam sessions, film screenings and more.
Nizhny Novgorod Region has established itself as one of the leaders of the creative economy, having received more than 180 industry awards in the field of culture and tourism. In 2023, the region was recognized as the winner of the Russian Creative Awards in the nomination “Creative Region”.
Oleg Berkovich, Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, stressed the importance of holding the forum to strengthen the region’s leadership in creative industries. According to him, the largest share – about 60 percent – in the structure of the creative economy of the region is occupied by information technology, followed by fashion, gastronomy and arts and crafts.
In 2024 Nizhny Novgorod will be named the “Cultural Capital of the Year”. In this regard, the final day of the forum, on December 7, will be dedicated to creative industries in the field of culture: lectures and public talks are planned on the specifics of work in art residences, rethinking folk arts and crafts, the development of small towns and much more. The guests will also be presented with unique projects and new brands of the Nizhny Novgorod region.
The Russian Creative Week – Volga Festival-Forum will be held at the Mayak Academy Cultural and Educational Center. The organizers are the Government of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, ANO Creative Economy and ANO Center 800 with the support of the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives.
The Russian Creative Week has been held since 2020 and is a platform for the development of the creative economy of Russia and building high-quality communication between business and the state.
