The second decade of the 21st century has witnessed rapid changes in fine arts and their social role. Professional education and vocational training in culture, art and technology of material art have undergone a significant change as well. The aims of the  International Students’ Art Exhibition and Conference “Visual Arts in the 21st

Century” are to accumulate and systematize the new artistic ideas and to encourage talented young artists and designers to develop their potential. Another aim is to facilitate a creative and scientific search in visual arts, art studies, and art critique with the purpose to develop new solutions (artistic, technical, and technological) in applying traditional and non-traditional materials of all kinds, and the methods of obtaining and processing them.
