Today, more than 400 students study at KGCPK both from the Perm region and from 16 regions of the Russian Federation. Of the teachers and industrial training masters, 70% are college graduates. The work of many of them is marked by government awards and titles. The main goal of the college teaching staff is to train specialists in the field of decorative and applied arts, folk crafts and design, cultural and professional self-determination, and creative personal fulfillment. All educational and educational work of the KGCP is aimed at achieving this goal.
Every year, college students and teachers take part in city, regional, regional, all-Russian and international art exhibitions. KGCPK constantly hosts exhibitions of creative works by teachers and students, which present the best works from all departments. The organization of traveling exhibitions has become a tradition. The college serves as a methodological center for school teachers, heads of art studios, teachers of aesthetics not only in the city, but also in the Perm region.
The main pride of Kungur College is its graduates.

Since 1991, the director of the Kungur State College of Arts and Industry is Evgeniy Aleksandrovich Malykh. Colleagues note such qualities of Evgeniy Alexandrovich as foresight, undoubted talent as an organizer, as well as a never-failing sense of humor. E.A. Malykh has two higher educations: pedagogical and management.
Evgeniy Aleksandrovich takes care of the development of the college’s material base and professional development of personnel. The director attaches great importance to material and moral incentives for the work of teachers, paying special attention to the social protection of college workers.
Kungur State Art and Industrial College is one of the unique educational institutions in the Kama region. The preservation of long-standing artistic traditions attracts students to this small Ural town not only from all over Russia, but also from other countries. After all, here they train professionals in many unique specialties: stone cutters, ceramicists, wood carvers, masters of artistic metal processing, specialists in the field of artistic weaving and carpet weaving, specialists in artistic enamel painting. The college’s special pride is the department of artistic stone processing.
Throughout the eighty years of the college’s existence, the best coursework and diploma projects of students, as well as the works of master teachers, were carefully collected here. These works were always kept in the cabinet of art samples. Thanks to this collection, the college has rightfully become a kind of methodological and educational center for school teachers, heads of art studios, and aesthetics teachers not only in Kungur, but throughout the Perm region.
The collection was constantly growing and ten years ago it became clear that such works should not be hidden from the public eye. In 2006, it was decided to open a permanent exhibition “Music in Stone” in the college exhibition hall.
This exhibition introduces visitors not only to the current state of the stone-cutting industry in the Urals, but also to its history, reflecting the development of the industry from the 20s of the 20th century to the present day.
The exhibition is chronological. The earliest of the works presented here date back to the beginning of the last century, when deposits of ornamental stone were discovered on the Iren River. True, for the most part, stone products of that time had not so much artistic as utilitarian significance (buttons, belt buckles, photo frames, inkwells). There was no need to talk about the perfection of technology yet, and those first stone cutters did not pay too much attention to the nature of the material itself. That is why the result - from today's view - has more historical than aesthetic value.
With the opening of the Kungur stone-cutting school in 1936, with the arrival of new artists in the craft, the approach to creating stone objects changed, and a new assortment appeared. Graduates of the school developed samples of products using technologies that were new to them (Florentine mosaic, inlay). Over time, the products began to sound organically from the source material, their decorative qualities improved, and their artistic value increased.
The items presented in the collection are the best examples of a special style that has developed over many years of work at the stone-cutting school in the city of Kungur. Many of the items in the museum were successfully exhibited at various national and international exhibitions.
The College Museum serves as a source of inspiration and custodian of treasured traditions for new generations of students. The museum's expositions are annually replenished with new exhibits that arouse great interest among visitors.
