The First Charity Auction "From the World of Beauty to Equal Opportunities" was held in Izhevsk, in the House of Peoples' Friendship. It was a unique combination of the world of the sublime, the beautiful and the quite down-to-earth topic of the accessible environment. Accessible environment, according to one of the organizers of the auction Igor Bezrukikh, everyone needs: the elderly, mothers with strollers, the most vulnerable category of citizens - the disabled. But at the same time, it should be recognized, creating an accessible environment, often forget about the spiritual development of people. The auction became a unique platform, where, taking care of the universal environment, remembered another very important thing for a person - the art, ennobling the soul of each person.At the auction were exhibited paintings by famous artists of Udmurtia, Moscow and St. Petersburg. Many of them have world fame. But at the same time artists, as the most compassionate and subtly understanding other people's problems could not remain indifferent: they willingly offered their works at a greatly reduced price, which was the starting price. The buyers were not just people who could just give money to the disabled. No, they were real art connoisseurs who wanted to help not only the disabled, but also the artists. There were desperate battles for some, especially valuable paintings ("Sunny Venice" by Igor Sabura, "On the River Cheptsa" by Fyodor Matantsev, etc.). There were paintings that were able to sell only for the starting price (which goes to the artists), and then the buyers willingly went to meet and added to the cost and money for the disabled.Holding an auction says that in Izhevsk is becoming more and more people who are not indifferent to other people's problems: these are artists, and buyers, and organizers. It means that there are more and more cultural people in our city. And I think that if we continue to unite the efforts of all people, our city will soon become accessible to everyone, and people in it will become more cultured and soulful.We express our gratitude for the help in holding the First Charity Auction to all organizers, in particular Alexander Churakov, Rustam Bulatov, Maria Medveditskova, "MD MODEL management", "Fashion ART" studio.
