Unusual business. Nikola-Lenivets

Blogger Dmitry Chernyshev aka mi3ch writes: Business is not necessarily production. Art can also be a business. While changing the world.

In New York, artists and artists have changed the face of the city several times. If a district fell into disrepair, then the rent fell sharply there. Young artists and poor artists moved there. And gradually this part of the city became prestigious. So it was in Soho and in Tribeca.

Two hundred kilometers from Moscow, in the Kaluga region, on the Ugra there was a forgotten village with a strange name, Nikola-Lenivets. And then talented people decided to hold a festival of landscape art objects there. And today the Archstoyanie festival is the largest in Europe.
