The region of Hlybokaye is very close to Lepelshchyna and its people, so it is not surprising that cultural exchanges between us occur with enviable regularity. For instance, Natalya Petukhova, a folk craftswoman from Lepelshchyna, is showcasing an exhibition of dolls made in the Belarusian folk tradition in Hlybokaye, while her colleague Volha Hanchar has brought tapestries.

For instance, Natalya Petukhova, a folk craftswoman from Lepelshchyna, is showcasing an exhibition of dolls made in the Belarusian folk tradition in Hlybokaye, while her colleague Volha Hanchar has brought tapestries. The exhibition has sparked interest among art lovers in the Hlybokaye region.
In turn, Dzmitry Litvinski, a craftsman from Hlybokaye, known for his paints and brushes, is introducing his works to the audience in Lepel at his solo exhibition "Confession to Hlybokaye". The exhibition features 15 paintings depicting landscapes of the Hlybokaye region and portraits.
Dzmitry Litvinski was born and raised in Hlybokaye, absorbing the beauty of his native land and the purity of its inhabitants' souls from childhood. After studying at Polotsk State University, he returned to his small homeland. He took up painting at a rather mature age. Not everything came easily at first, but the artist constantly works on himself, improves his skills, and does not stand still. His development and growth can be traced from his earliest to his latest paintings.
Gradually, recognition came, and solo exhibitions began to be organised. His paintings are acquired by collectors not only from Belarus; Dzmitry's works can be found in the collections of collectors from Russia, Lithuania, and Greece.
The solo exhibition of the Hlybokaye craftsman Dzmitry Litvinski will continue until the end of October at the art salon "Skarbonka".
