Almaty will soon introduce a digital art institution, providing students with a virtual platform to learn and create art.
Get ready, Almaty! A creative revolution's brewin'! The awesome news hit the streets: a School of Artistic Gestures is about to drop in our megacity! This awesome new platform promises to unleash the creative potential of Almaty's youth, offering workshops on everything from painting and photography to a variety of other artistic disciplines at no cost! And if that ain't enough, masterclasses in culinary arts, dance, and vocals are already rockin' the scene on the Almaty Creative YouTube channel, as reported by Almaty.tv.
According to Olga Veselova, rep of the NGO "Eurasian Cultural Alliance," these masterclasses were live-streamed and are still available on the Almaty Creative channel for your perusal. But that ain't all - a cool podcast dedicated to contemporary culture and creative economy has been launched for the older crowd, too!
But what about other developments in the local art and design scene? Well, let's take a closer look and see what's cookin'.
Recently, the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) held a design-focused event in Almaty, discussing the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation in community space design. While not deemed a school launch, this event showcases Almaty's growing engagement with international design education.
The Almaty Management University (AlmaU) has also expanded its programs with initiatives like the Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) and Pre-MBA entrepreneurship modules - though they're more business-oriented rather than artistic.
As for the "Almaty Creative" channel, it seems more like a physical venue (44 Markova Str.) that hosted the IED event rather than an independent media channel with educational or disciplinary roles.
As for the specific artistic disciplines linked to the new school, the available information doesn't provide a clear answer. However, IED's focus areas (design, community spaces) and AlmaU's management programs suggest a growing, diverse artistic and educational infrastructure in the region.
So, if you're itchin' to learn, stay tuned for more info about the School of Artistic Gestures! And for now, don't be shy - check out the resources mentioned above and support yo' local artistic scene!
