In 2025, Zaryadye Park under the Department of Culture of the capital organized 24 exhibitions for residents and visitors of the capital; they were visited by 214.5 thousand people. This was reported on the official website of the Mayor of Moscow.
“Traditionally, one of the flagship projects of Zaryadye Park, “Graduation”, opened in the art space “Parking Gallery”, within the framework where graduates of art and architecture of the capital's universities presented their degree works. They made themselves known, found the first viewers and entered into dialogue with the professional community,” the announcement said.
Last year, 318 graduates from 27 creative universities in Moscow presented 387 works. These include historical paintings, conceptual installations, interactive objects and digital media. In addition, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Moscow Academic Art School, diploma works from the 1950s to 1980s from the educational institution's funds were exhibited in Zaryadye Park. “Edition 25” gathered 35.6 thousand visitors.

At the exhibition “Greeks.

The fourth exhibition “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth” aims to reflect on the fate of soldiers, images of war and homeland. It brings together works by contemporary Russian artists, including front-line soldiers and volunteers, in a variety of genres – from classical painting to digital art. The “Steel” project included work on the fabrication of armor plates.
As part of the flagship project “Problem. History”, two large-scale exhibitions were opened, presenting classic Russian masterpieces. Leading museums and institutions in Russia, private galleries and collectors participated in their creation.
