The Russian Animated Film Association Congratulates Artek on Its 101st Anniversary

For more than a century, Artek has remained a place where dreams are born, talents are discovered, friendships are strengthened, and memories for a lifetime are created. For millions of children, it has become a true country of childhood, inspiration and opportunity.

It is especially meaningful that many young participants are introduced to the world of creativity, art and animation for the first time at Artek through the Animatika competition. The project encourages children to imagine, create and believe in their ideas, opening new paths for self-expression through animation.

We wish Artek continued success, exciting new projects, talented participants and many new generations of Artek campers who will proudly carry through life the centre’s well-known motto:

“Once an Artek camper, always an Artek camper.”

Happy Birthday, Artek!
