The St. Petersburg Academy of Arts was established nineteen years before the foundation of the United States. The Academy was originally established under the name the Academy of Three Noblest Arts by Count Ivan Shuvalov. At the time of its opening everyone who had artistic promise, even peasants, was allowed to attend classes.. Before 1764 all classes were held at the palace of Count Ivan Shuvalov on Sadovaya Street. After that the name of the establishment was changed to Imperial Academy of Arts by order of Catherine the Great, who also commissioned a new building, which construction took 25 years. The Imperial Academy of Arts building faces the Winter Palace across from St. Petersburg’s famous Neva River. Today, the neoclassic architecture style building of the academy even keeps 3,000-year-old Egyptian sphinxes and griffins.
When the academy began, it sent its most renownd painters to other countries such as France and Italy to study various artistic styles. Nowadays the academy is visited by many artists from all over the world who are eager to study the unique and elaborate art forms, created by the members of the Academy. In addition to the three noble arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture, the Academy now offers classes in glass making, stone carving, weaving, mosaics, and making matryoshkas, the famous Russian nesting dolls.
ArtTours was founded in 2002 by a group of St. Petersburg artists and Russian Translation Services workers who found out that having visited the Hermitage and the Russian Art Museum, the tourists were left wondering: “Where can I see contemporary art and culture?” The company offers its customers a variety of what it calls “master classes” – in painting, iconography, sculpture, stained glass, jewelry, art restoration, Russian theater and ballet, as well as several two-hour workshop options, including the popular Russian painting of Eastern eggs.

A samba school has more social, festival and party organizational and coordination function than an educative one. In Rio alone, over 50 samba schools are committed to the preparation of Mardi Gras or Carnival throughout the year. Practically they spend between $500,000 and $1,000,000 on making costumes and constructions and rehearsing for the a little more than an hour performance that involves up to 5,000 participants. Although foreigners are not allowed to participate in the parade on behalf of some Rio’s samba schools, which claim that they don’t know enough Portuguese to learn the songs and will ruin a whole year’s work, not to mention the schools’ chances of staying in the top 14 participating the big two-day parade, other samba schools do not mind to accept English to Portuguese Translation Services worker’s money in exchange for participating in some less important activities such as costume assembling, drumming, shaking rumps in the parade and other. According to one recent vacationer, “The schools spread the foreign travelers around the fringes so they are nearly invisible to the judges.” For the right price you will be offered the choice among a wealth of magnificent costumes, ornate with everything from peacock and ostrich feathers to sequins and glitter.
