Celebrating Our 13th Birthday!

Thirteen years ago, we began our journey with a belief in the power of contemporary art to bring people together. Today, we continue to be a place for encounters, conversations, discoveries, and cooperations — a space where new meanings emerge and where the time we live in is reflected.

We are sincerely grateful for this year's connections, exhibitions, events, and the fantastic worlds imagined together with the gallery's youngest visitors.

We owe our deepest gratitude to Ukraine's defenders for making it possible for us to continue our work amid war—to everyone who is protecting the country today. We mourn the losses, and at the same time, humanity, care for one another, and solidarity give us the strength to keep moving forward.

Thank you to each and every one of you for trust, presence, support, critical perspective, curiosity, openness, and willingness to engage in dialogue.

The Artsvit Gallery programme is currently realised by Oleksandra Shovkun, Iryna Polikarchuk, Viktoriia Nikitina, and Bohdan Somov. In June, Stanislav Pyvonos joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

We continue to work, dream, and create together!

Expanded Edition of Ukrainian Female Artists' Names on Secondary Archive

The new edition (IV) of Secondary Archive Ukraine focuses on the theme of return:

— the return of artists who have become military service members to the art field through bringing visibility to their practice and personal histories;

— the return of artists who were born or professionally realized abroad but maintain strong ties to Ukraine - not only through their identity, but also through the themes they address (migration, trauma, periphery, etc.). In this case, the return is understood as discursive and intellectual re-engagement with the Ukrainian art context;

— drawing attention to artists who have remained on the margins of visibility and outside dominant or visible communities.

Artsvit for Kids Autumn Programme: Legends About the City

On September 26, Artsvit for Kids launches its autumn art programme «Legends about the City», led by Alina Shtefan. The programme invites children to explore the mysteries and legends of the city and discover its places of inspiration.

Meetings will take place every Saturday for 10 weeks: at 11:00 AM for children aged 6–9, and at 1:00 PM for children aged 10–13.

We will discover what secrets the Great River has hidden beneath the water, build cardboard bridges, write a short diary of a future traveller, create our own tram line with unusual stops, invent their names, and draw a map of the starry Dnipro. There will also be many other discoveries, adventures, encounters, and creative experiments along the way!
