Its major aim was the development and spread of arts in Russia. Members of the society were guided by European academic standards, painting ancient and allegoric stories, as well as salon portraits. Between 1891 and 1918, the society organised annual exhibitions at the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, at the Academy of Arts, and at the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg (Petrograd) and Moscow, and its public exhibitions at the Konnogvardeisky Manege, exhibitions in the country, and competitions between 1898 and 1901 were known as "the people's exhibitions."
