But the content of the platform does not end there. We decided to collect accounts through which you can not only learn about new events or trends, but also gain a lot of useful knowledge about art, in an interactive and modern format. Invite your child to subscribe to them. We are confident that he will appreciate this approach.

@shoesinart

Dedicated to shoe lovers. Devon Head, an art critic from Great Britain, once decided to become a stylist and in her free time started an Instagram account, but not with the latest designer shoes, but with fragments of paintings from world classics.
