At the fair opening, Credit Suisse and Cosmoscow announced the laureate of their joint award for young artistic talent in Russia.

The 9th edition of Cosmoscow was supposed to be held at the Gostiny Dvor on September 10–12, 2021, but due to the extension of the work of one of the largest vaccination centers in Russia, the fair was moved to the Moscow Manege with dates changing to September 18–20.The event was held in the COVID-free format, the entrance was carried out by sessions with a fixed entry time.
