The Ukrainian TSEKH art Gallery was founded 15 years ago. It is one of the most successful non-governmental cultural institutions of contemporary art in Ukraine. Meanwhile, this year, in Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital, the Tsekh Gallery Vilnius marks its 5th anniversary and is currently one of the largest private galleries in the country.

The First Lady of Lithuania and the Minister of Culture visited the exhibition dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the TSEKH art Gallery, which presents essential works by 11 artists from Ukraine, Lithuania, and the United States.

Diana Nausėdienė congratulated the Gallery in Ukrainian: “I am happy to be here and feel the pulse of Ukraine. It is a land with which Lithuania has close historical and cultural ties. I am sincerely glad to get acquainted with the works of Ukrainian artists. Let your creativity soar on the wings of freedom and spread in the most fascinating forms”.

For the Ukrainian School of Political Studies, culture is the foundation of public policy. USPS and the Agency for Legislative Initiatives are pleased to have the opportunity to support Alumni on their path and help promote Ukrainian art in the world. We wish the TSEKH art Gallery new achievements!
