Today, we think about the future—what is our role, and what legacy will we leave behind? We encourage you to support our fundraising campaign and "Paint a Brighter Future" for the next generation of art historians, critics, curators, museologists, and other bright minds who will receive a fellowship and stipend to research American artists of Ukrainian descent. This video showcases the inspiring moments from our inaugural fellowship presentation held on January 21, 2025, at the Shevchenko Scientific Society. Olenka Tsyhankova delivered a compelling overview of her research paper, "Memory Threads: Ukrainian Crafts Woven into the Tapestry of Contemporary American Art." This paper delves into the work of four remarkable artists who uniquely blend and reinterpret Ukrainian crafts in their artistic practices: Ola Rondiak’s captivating Motanka sculptures, Paul Wirhun’s intricate pysanky and eggshell mosaics, Ilona Sochynsky’s vibrant traditional color palette, and Katrina Majkut’s thought-provoking cross-stitched political messages.
