The Center for Cultural & Arts Initiatives is an active association of citizens, founded in 2003 in the city of Lviv, Ukraine. Since the beginning of our activities, we have focused on the implementation of various social, cultural, and artistic programs and projects aimed at the development of our community and society as a whole.
As we move closer to our inevitable, shared, and glorious victory in the war, the Center contributes to the triumph of the Ukrainian people over the Muscovites primarily through its daily work. We continue our efforts in the creation, education, promotion, and preservation of traditional cultural and artistic heritage as an unwavering marker of ethnic identity. The extensive experience of the Center’s staff and numerous examples of successful international projects demonstrate the effectiveness of developing cultural dialogue between friendly nations and inspire us to pursue new projects in the future.
