Separately, the exhibition «Tatiana»s Day« at the Union of Artists Exhibition Hall, which runs until January 25, is worth noting. A meeting with the artists and a concert will be held at 5:00 p.m. on the closing day. The exhibition organizers shared a neural network»s response to the question about the collective image of a St. Petersburg woman in 2026:

This is a combination of intellectual baggage, practical minimalism, and the ability to weave historical context into the modern rhythm of a metropolis. Appearance and style: layering and functionality (due to unpredictable weather, the wardrobe is built on the «cabbage» principle. It always contains a quality trench coat, a voluminous scarf, and technological flat shoes). The color palette is restrained: 50 shades of gray, beige, deep blue, and black. Naturalness: in 2026, «groomed naturalness» is in trend. Minimal makeup, natural hairstyles, a focus on skin health and inner state. Character and manners: polite distance. A St. Petersburg woman is friendly but maintains personal boundaries. She is characterized by a light melancholy, which she considers part of her charm.

Artists are giving their visual answers to this question at the exhibition, including People«s Artist of Russia Anatoly Slepkov, Honored Artists of Russia Anatoly Rybkin, Oleg Yakhin, Elena Bazanova, Lyudmila Balandina, Yevgeny Dubitsky, and others. A memorial section will present works by Gennady Bernadsky.
