Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art

Contemporary art exhibitions anchor the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, which preserves and promotes art reflecting Ukrainian and American experiences. Its programming includes gallery exhibitions, concerts, readings, lectures, films, exhibition tours, and gallery talks. The institute presents work by contemporary artists alongside selections from its permanent collection, including prints by Ukrainian-American artist Jacques Hnizdovsky. Current programming includes Home Grown Vol. III, an immersive exhibition featuring Midwest artists working with natural pigments, dyes, plant reliefs, hand-pulled paper, and organic materials. Other activities support artistic talent, public engagement, publications, and cultural understanding. Located in Chicago, UIMA serves the cultural needs of its community and city while presenting perspectives on contemporary art and Ukrainian-American cultural expression.
