In October 2016, the Center initiated the Academy to enter into official cooperation between the Fine Arts Department of the Cultural and Art Studio of the CCMI SPIROGRAPH and the Department of Graphic Design and Art of the Book of Ukrainian Academy of Printing (UAP).

In February 2017, the participants of the Fine Arts Department of the Studio of Culture and Arts “SPIROGRAPH” of the Center of Cultural and Art Initiatives of the city of Lviv attended a workshop on printed graphics in the technique of “linocut”, which was held by teacher Lydia Chyr. The workshop was attended by 14 people, including four Studio teachers. During the two-hour creative practice, the attendees sketched their first works in linocut technique, transferred the images to a printing form, prepared the image for printing (cut it in the material) and made prints in the workshop of the Department of Graphic Design and Art of the UAD book.

We thank the Head of the Graphic Design and Art Department of the UAD Book, Associate Professor, Candidate of Art Studies Volodymyr Stasenko for his kindness and a good start to practical cooperation between our institutions.
