Presentation of the All-Ukrainian Project PROSTO NEBYLYTSI 2019

The project has been realized for nine years. Its purpose is to create a space for the expression of young Ukrainian creators and to promote their art in the world.

In 2011, the International Association of Culture and Art started a project in Ukraine through the prism of which Ukraine’s bright artistic potential can be discerned. The project, which everybody aged of 5 to 16 can participate in, presents young talented artists who promote the creativity of their thoughts, innovative thinking and search for new visions. The coordinator of the project “Fine and Decorative Arts Contest “PROSTO NEBYLYTSI” in Ukraine is Lviv Regional Charitable Foundation “TORBA”, and its organizer is the Center for Cultural & Arts Initiatives.

During this time  more than one hundred children who live in specialized institutions of Lviv region (orphanages, boarding schools, etc.) participated in it. The charitable participation of the organizing committee, sponsors, philanthropists and art admirers of many European countries creates a real event for the children in these centers. Visiting  such places is an invaluable source of communication for both guests and their residents.

To commemorate the meeting, they are always presented stationery, sweets, clothing and more by the organizers. Each year, from April to November, the Organizing Committee team visits specialized institutions, conducts master classes on painting and graphics and then helps to submit work to the exhibit.

This year, young creators who have been deprived of parental care have traditionally had the opportunity to participate in the Project. It is worth noting that the works of such participants “PROSTO NEBYLYTSI” are out-of-competition and are accepted to the exhibition without preliminary evaluation.

878 paintings from 22 regions of Ukraine were sent to participate in the All-Ukrainian project “PROSTO NEBYLYTSI” 2019. 787 paintings participated in the contest, while 42 paintings out of them were painted by children deprived of parental care and living in orphanages of Lviv Region. Over 150 works have been chosen for the exhibition of the best paintings.

The International Association of Culture and Art invited 5 specialists from the sphere of fine and decorative arts from Ukraine and 4 from abroad to be members of the 2019 qualifications commission.
