国際文化支援マスタークラス非営利組織（以下マスタークラス）は，１９９３年以来，サンクトペテルブルクで年に一度開催される国際アートフェスティバルを指揮して参りました。マスタークラス財団は多数の展覧会やフェスティバルを発案し，興味深い文化活動を開催してきました。
国際アートフェスティバル・マスタークラスは創作活動に対する意欲を束ねることを提唱し，古典アートと現代アートの基礎を啓蒙し普及させること，またロシア国内外においてサンクトペテルブルクの文化の紹介や，諸外国の文化をサンクトペテルブルク市民に親しんでもらうことを目的としています。いただいたご支援により，若く才能ある多くの画家やデザイナー，作家，音楽家がいち早くペテルブルクの人々や各地の観衆へ自らの作品を届け，名声を得て著名になっています。
また私たちの活動はソ連解体後の時代においてサンクトペテルブルクの文化的生活のありかたを打ち出したといえるでしょう。
当財団の基本原理は，あらゆる世代をつなぐことにあります。
経験を積んだ芸術家たちが観衆と直にふれあい，自身の経験や知識を理論のみならず実践で表現できるよう支援をします。
２４年の間，マスタークラスは多くの国際シンポジウムや概説，セミナーや展覧会を催行してきました。当財団は芸術の新たな形と方向性を探求し，従来の古典的な伝統を守り続ける使命を担っています。
高等教育機関における専門分野の礎の創立や，次世代の諸外国文化研究への従事，経験と実用的知識を最大限に達成することを目標としています。
理念と原則
サンクトペテルブルクで年一回開催される国際アートフェスティバル・マスタークラスは１９９３年に誕生して以来，その信念を堅持する。
-ロシア文化の普及を使命とするフェスティバル-
プロジェクトにはプロの画家，音楽家，建築家，映画監督，劇場関係者，
作家，ジャーナリストが加盟
