Founded by a young couple, Mystetska Zbirka gallery was opened in 2006, when the Ukrainian art market was only beginning to emerge. Displaying classical painters at first, the gallery’s owners developed interest in Modern Art later on. Understanding that it is impossible to squeeze creative work into the certain framework, the gallerists work with the maitres of Ukrainian art and open new names. Classic and Modern Art is exposed here, placing experiment and tradition next to each other. Organizing a new exhibition each month, the gallery is not just a display area, it is also a meeting point for those interested in art, a place to get acquainted and to exchange ideas. The gallery’s mission is to inspire, to show new borders of the world and simply to give pleasure.
