The “Art Voyage” project, initiated by the First Private Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art founded by Serhiy Tsyupko, is back on the road. This time, it travels to the Kachanivka National Historical and Cultural Preserve—a place that has long served as a nexus for creative inspiration and artistic dialogue.

Kachanivka boasts a unique atmosphere, shaped by centuries of cultural history. It was here that luminaries such as Taras Shevchenko, Nikolai Gogol, Marko Vovchok, Ilya Repin, Mykola Ge, and many other distinguished figures worked and found inspiration. In the 19th century, artist Vasyl Shternberg created his most famous works at the estate, earning prestigious academic accolades. Today, this continuity of artistic tradition is palpable in the museum’s latest exhibition.

The exhibition, titled Moments of Inspiration, integrates seamlessly into the preserve’s historic space, reinforcing the connection between different eras of Ukrainian art. The display features works from the museum’s permanent collection, which comprises over 6,000 pieces and showcases a diverse range of artistic movements and individual approaches.

The exhibition brings together artists from across Ukraine, including painters from Kyiv, Zakarpattia, Crimea, Kharkiv, and Lviv. The featured artists include Volodymyr Reunov, Boris Mikhailov, Ivan Tiukha, Serhiy Dupliy, Hryhoriy Faynerman, Ihor Hodunova, Ivan and Larysa Brovdi, Yuriy Herts, Viktor Tolochko, Oleksandr Khmelnytskyi, Myroslav Demtsyuk, Volodymyr Patyk, and others. Many of these names belong to a circle of artists whose creative legacy has formed a cornerstone of contemporary Ukrainian painting.

Moments of Inspiration serves as an attempt to capture the subtle emotional states, familiar imagery, and inner experiences that shape an individual viewer’s journey. The exhibition invites visitors to engage in mindful, unhurried contemplation and to enter into a personal dialogue with the artwork.

This project was made possible through the support of the Serhiy Tsyupko Charitable Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting Ukrainian art and expanding public access to museum collections.

The exhibition is currently on display in the exhibition halls of the Kachanivka Preserve. We invite you to visit and discover your own Moments of Inspiration.
