We invite you to a meeting with curator Aleya Segal — we will talk about how to present yourself and your own projects

Join us for a useful conversation with Aliya Segal, curator of the exhibition "The Soil under My Nails Reminds Me of Dried Blood". She will share recommendations on how to promote yourself as an artist and debunk the myth that the art community is closed.

How to properly form a CV and make an interesting portfolio, where to look for people from the community to introduce them to your artistic practice, who to contact — Alya will tell you in more detail this Friday. The curator will give some practical advice on communication between artists and curators and point out the main mistakes of beginners.

WHEN: Friday, July 19, 6:00 PM
WHERE: Artsvit Gallery, Krutogornyy Uzviz 21A (entrance through the glass sliding doors from the side of Uspenskaya Square)

Admission is free with mandatory registration! Link to the Google form: https://forms.gle/L5yphwepMntWRgxw9

If possible, we would be happy to support with a donation — all funds raised will be added to the collection for medicine, which is being held by one of the artists whose work is presented at the exhibition, Margarita Polovinko.

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.
