In the painting ‘River Banks’, the artist Konstantin Dmitriev depicted a view of the Uemlyanka and the Northern Dvina rivers near the Uemsky village. In the foreground, there is a gentle river bank. The land was used to plow and till vegetable gardens that were divided into sections by a low wooden fence. In the distance, next to the water, there is a small wooden house, next to it is a boardwalk. There is a boat moored near the shore.
Uemlyanka is a small river in the vicinity of the Uemsky village. It flows into the Northern Dvina — one of the largest rivers in the Russian North and a major shipping route. The Uemlyanka banks are flat, low, sometimes slightly undulating. There are many flood meadows beside the river — these are areas that are subject to seasonal flooding.
Konstantin Dmitriev, who painted ‘River banks’, was born in the Uemsky village, Primorsky District. He developed the artistic concept of the Arts and Crafts Museum, came up with the first logo for it, and created several paintings, mostly landscape ones, for the collection.
The museum in the Uemsky village appeared on April 1, 1992. But its premises were very small, and all the exhibits did not fit in it. Therefore, 12 years later, in 2004, the permanent exhibition moved to another building with three spacious exhibition halls.
In addition to the collection of paintings and graphic works, the museum displays items related to the culture of the Pomors and their main trades: fishing, hunting, algae and salt extraction, timber and resin harvesting.
