The works will be produced in Vladikavkaz, exhibited in the spaces of the Fine Art Museum of Vladikavkaz and donated to the Museum.

A forum with the participation of art critics, curators and culture experts from the South and North Caucasus region will be held 14^th of August.

Alanica is organized by the Ministry of Culture and Mass Communications of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and the National Centre for Contemporary Art and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.
