Our story

Our story started in 1993 when the studio was founded, but The Art Center “Maria’s Children” was officially registered on 17 April 1997. Every year we celebrate this date as the studio’s birthday.

1994. The very first of “Maria’s Children”

For more than 20 years we have been collecting stories and photos of our studio life, its events, trips, and people. In this section you can read the memoirs of Maria Eliseeva about how it all started and a short overview of each year's main events.
