28.09.23

Of course, we have always been convinced that very talented and creative people live and work in the communities of Dnipropetrovsk region. But the results of the regional review-competition of folk customs and rites were simply stunning!

These children are winners! And most of them have a great future! We are convinced of this. Summarized the results of the contest “Fairy Petrykivka” (100!!! participants) The finalists were awarded, gifts were presented and many kind words were said. This is important, but not the main thing. The main thing is that each child took another step towards the great art of Petrykivka painting. Their eyes “burn” and the thirst for learning rages in their souls. It would seem that they won, became better and proved their talent in the competition. However, after the award ceremony, our beautiful young masters stayed to take a master class from the famo...
