Join us at St. Volodymyr Institute for the reception of HOPE, a juried exhibition marking four years since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

RSVP below to confirm your attendance!

This exhibition brings together artists reflecting on hope — not as an abstract idea, but as something carried through daily life, memory, and creative practice. The works on view speak to endurance, solidarity, and the quiet persistence that sustains individuals and communities through war and displacement.

As we gather during International Women’s Month, we also recognize the powerful role of women as artists, cultural workers, caregivers, organizers, and witnesses in carrying memory forward and shaping spaces of resilience. Many of the exhibiting artists are women whose work engages deeply with questions of care, survival, and collective strength.

Most artworks in the exhibition are available for purchase. Proceeds from sales directly support participating artists and help sustain community-focused cultural programming at St. Volodymyr Institute.
