We invite Dnipro youth who are interested in art and want to try different forms of artistic communication to co-create

We are launching a new educational project for teenagers aged 14 to 17, inclusive, who live in Dnipro, are interested in art, and want to try different forms of artistic communication.

“Co-creation” is about a shared space for interaction and creativity, in which young people can learn more about themselves, about the cultural background on which they grow up, and about institutions that can be visited while traveling around Ukraine. We strive to encourage teenagers to dialogue, help them find like-minded people and expand the circle of live communication, which is currently sorely lacking; to show that culture and art are much closer to each of us and manifest themselves in everything, influencing our entire lives, than it seems.

The project aims to deepen teenagers’ knowledge of Ukrainian art and inspire them to create a collective artistic expression. In this educational course, we will move away from the lecture format and focus on practice — a series of workshops with invited experts are planned, who will introduce program participants to various media through which they can express themselves and convey their thoughts — these are performative action, printing on fabric, sound and video. There will also be several additional activities: mobile exercises, creating an art map of Ukraine, visiting the Artsvit gallery’s storage and getting to know our collection of artworks.

The program starts on October 12. The course consists of 10 classes (every Saturday at 12:00) and will end with a presentation of a collective project in early December.

Classes will be held at Krutohirny Uzviz, 21a, Artsvit Gallery. Entrance through the glass sliding doors from the side of Uspenskaya Square.

Admission is free

Please note! The number of places is limited. To participate, you must register for each class. Every week we will publish a new form for registering for the next class, follow the updates. Participation in the program is free.

Next Friday, we are opening an exhibition by Dnipro-based artists

We invite you to the opening of the exhibition project Pharmacy of the Heavens — a collaborative work by Dnipro-based artists, painter Volodymyr Gabuda and sound artist Oleksandr Suprun. The opening will take place on June 5 at 6:30 PM. Combining painting, poetry, and a spatial audio installation, the exhibition will run until August 8, 2026.

Pharmacy of the Heavens continues a long-term artistic project that Volodymyr Gabuda has been developing over the past several years. This new cycle emerges as the next chapter following the exhibition Mutations, presented in 2025 at the Dnipro Art Museum. As the artist notes, the project evolves gradually — through separate fragments, like a book written in process. While Mutations focused on trauma as a protective reaction and on unconscious mechanisms of resistance, Pharmacy of the Heavens turns to a condition in which the traumatic transformations of reality have already become part of everyday life, requiring conscious “healing” actions.

Sharing Experience with Colleagues: Work on the Artsvit Gallery Collection Website Continues

At the end of April, Artsvit Gallery’s collection curator Viktoriia Nikitina took part in a networking event for participants of the Museum Futures programme, within which we are developing a website dedicated to the gallery’s collection.
