Special project will be dedicated to the Year of Japan in Russia. AS is the most important event for Russian antique galleries. For the fall business-сезона certainly

For those who got confused in the numbering of the salons (like me at first): previously under the "brand" was advertised February AS44 salon in Manezh, which is then logically separated and called RA&AF — Russian Art & Antique Fair. Well, now, as I understand it, events began to be considered separately: AS (Antique shop) under their numbers, and RA&AF (universal fair) — under their.

AS and RA&AF (both events organized by Expo-парк) the idea should not compete with each other. Class can be divided into "business" and "prestige", respectively. But in fact, even galleries need time to recover, therefore, costly measures must not stand close to schedule. In the fall of 2018, they do not threaten: RA&AF will be in spring 2019-го.

With dates in the next RA&AF already too clear: second fair in the Arena will be about 16 to 21 April 2019. Why approximately? Because the arena — that there exists a risk that dates can shift at the last moment, without regard to the obligations of the organizers. So, if you remember, happened in February of 2018, when the opening of the first Russian Art & the Antique Fair was moved to the week ahead, much to the chagrin of foreign galleries.

AS44 will probably be one of the last Antique shops on the historic site of the CHA. It is expected that in 2019 this part of the building on the Crimean Val will go to the New Tretyakov gallery. The following "framework of the Republic" for antique dealers will be Gostiny Dvor. There, I'll probably just get the gallery. And there will continue to hold Antique shops.

in the meantime, prepare for 20 Oct 2018. On Saturday, the salon will open at 16:00 and will run until nine in the evening. Other days it will be open from 12:00 to 20:00. And on the day of closing, October 28, visitors access closes at 19:00. The tickets will cost 500 rubles, and for beneficiaries — 250 rubles.
