The document highlights that the building of the Union of Artists has nearly a ninety-year history and has long been a center for the development of visual arts, as well as a venue for exhibitions, cultural events, and creative meetings.
“This is not just real estate, but an important element of the national cultural fund, where generations of artists were formed and significant exhibitions took place,” the authors of the appeal state.
Historically, the building has been led by outstanding masters who made significant contributions to the development of art in Kyrgyzstan.
The appeal also expresses concern about potential changes in the legal status of the building, which could threaten its historical and cultural value.
In this regard, the Union of Artists has put forward several requests:
- to preserve the building in its current status;
- to grant it the status of a state-protected object;
- to ensure legal and sustainable conditions for the organization’s work.
Union representatives believe that the loss of the building would negatively impact not only the creative community but also the cultural heritage of the country as a whole.
In conclusion, the authors of the appeal expressed hope for support from the president in matters concerning the preservation of Kyrgyzstan's cultural values.
