September is the time for Cosmoscow and Blazar, fairs that literally capture the attention of the Russian art community and set the tone for the contemporary art market.
Today, we share a bit about the Blazar fair, whose sixth edition will take place from September 10 to 14, 2025, at its historic venue in the heart of the capital, the Museum of Moscow. This truly vibrant event is for all lovers of contemporary art, and this year it coincides with City Day, which will undoubtedly attract even more attention to this exciting event. The museum's director, Anna Trapkova, believes that this coincidence is a great reason for Muscovites and visitors to the capital to check out the fair.
On September 9, we attended a preview for collectors and journalists, where we visited the exhibition and spoke with Ksenia Grange. Ksenia is a professional contemporary artist, tattoo artist, and co-founder of the tattoo space Medittation in central Moscow. She works at the intersection of painting and tattoo culture. This year, Ksenia is exhibiting at Blazar for the first time and expressed her excitement about the format and scale of the event. Her works attract attention with their uniqueness and depth, highlighting the diversity of presented art.

Over 2,000 works by young artists and designers await their guests, along with booths from 32 galleries showcasing a variety of artistic directions and styles.
This year, Blazar offers three key areas: "Art," "Digital Art," and "Design." Each has its unique atmosphere and characteristics.
The digital art section occupies a small but very vibrant hall. Here, you can see works by 15 young authors who boldly experiment with new media, modern technologies, and artificial intelligence. These creations seem to open a door to the future, where the boundaries between art and technology are blurred.
On the second floor is the design section, featuring the work of over 60 authors and studios. The focus is on interior items and tableware that are not only beautiful but also functional. Here, everyone can find something to their taste—ranging from elegant vases to stylish home accessories.
The organizers have not forgotten about regional diversity: this year's "Region of the Year" booth will showcase the Nizhny Novgorod region in the design section—a unique opportunity to learn about creativity and design from different corners of our country.
A key part of the fair remains the art section featuring works by 40 independent artists and booths from 26 galleries. Here, you can see both well-known masters and fresh names just starting their journey in the art world.
But Blazar is not just an exhibition! A rich parallel program has been prepared for visitors: tours with professional guides, quality mediation, and educational workshops from the Garage Museum. These events will help deepen understanding of the artists' work and provide practical advice on collecting.
For the youngest visitors, a special children's program has been organized in collaboration with the KidsArtWeekend art club. Workshops like "I Am an Artist" and "I Am a Collector," interactive tours, and the quest "I Understand Art" will turn children's introduction to contemporary art into an exciting adventure.
The Blazar 2025 fair is a must-visit event as it promises to be a bright highlight in Moscow's cultural life. It is not just an exhibition—it is a place where creativity, innovation, and education meet. So don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in the world of young art, be inspired by new ideas, and perhaps find your new favorite piece that will grace your interior for generations to come!
