The quote from a site about the main concept of a festival "Appeared the art program of holding the Moscow festival! The modern art - the phenomenon international. In the art program of the Cultural Heroes of 21 Centuries project we are guided by idea widespread in the modern civilized world of the modern art.

Return of Russia to norms and values which are recognized by the international art community, took place more than 20 years ago. It is possible to say with confidence that in Russia there is a steady tradition of the modern art and line of the national school which main manifestations in recent times were Sotc Art and an apt-art, and now it is possible to carry an aktsionizm and post-conceptualism to them. We don't urge young generation of artists to copy blindly the artists working in these directions, but, certainly, we aren't going to do any discounts for “provinciality”.

In the visual program of a festival we would like to see not only contemporary art but also modern short cinema, the fashion and other forms of art promoting liberalizations of mass consciousness is alternative."
