A young generation of talented artists has appeared.  V.I. Perfiliev, the official representative of the Ministry of Culture , Fine Art Department, (a traditional participant of the Jury since 1993) noted in his speech that  art shows and contests have proved to be viable and  desirable to artists and to cultural society of Russia. The same feeling was characteristic of a round table meeting where a frank talk of new participants of Salon exhibition  took place.
