Mamison Art Fest in Mamison
Mamison Art Fest held its first edition in August 2025 at the Mamison ski resort in North Ossetia, drawing more than 2,500 guests for experimental music, audio, gastronomy and light-design installations. Organized by the resort's management company with regional government support, the debut festival paired contemporary art experiments with a fair of North Caucasus craftspeople and an evening light-and-music performance staged among the ancient stone towers of nearby Lisri village.
Mamison is a strange kind of place to build a festival around: a ski resort so new that its identity is still being invented in real time, set in a corner of North Ossetia whose surrounding landscape has been settled for a great deal longer than the resort itself has existed.
