Did you know that the European Union never stopped supporting Ukrainian culture, even during the war? And it is stepping up its efforts to protect Ukrainian identity and cultural heritage, helping to preserve museums and monuments, providing grants to Ukrainian artists, helping to digitise Ukrainian heritage sites, etc.
As part of the communication campaign “Together, We Create. Together, We Preserve”, with the support of the EU, an open-air art event “Cultural Mosaic” will take place in Kyiv on 8 July from 12:00 to 20:00.
We invite artists, cultural workers and all interested people to visit the ALIPH Foundation exhibition on the preservation of the Ukrainian cultural heritage during the war. Everyone can join master classes and get acquainted with EU grant opportunities. Children can take part in a creative drawing competition. Also, Kyiv residents and guests of Kyiv will see the exhibition of the winners of the art project competition dedicated to understanding the war in Ukraine.
