Description

Join artist Alex Kostivat for a free, hands-on linocut printmaking workshop at UIMA. Participants will explore techniques for creating multicolor relief prints (rainbow roll, chine-collé, and reduction) and can choose which one they’d like to dive into.

This is the second linocut workshop held in conjunction with our exhibition of works by Jacques Hnizdovsky (1915-1985), one of the most celebrated Ukrainian-American artists of the twentieth century, best known for his masterful woodblock prints of cats, sheep, trees, and the natural world. Drawn from the Institute’s Permanent Collection, the exhibition is presented as part of UIMA’s 55th anniversary celebration.

Sunday, October 25 | 12-3 PM | Free

In existence for over 50 years, UIMA continues to offer a robust schedule of exhibitions, musical and literary events, films, and gallery talks, including the annually anticipated Live and Silent Auction. Musical programs have included evenings with distinguished opera singers Samuel Ramey, Paul Plishka, and pianist Valentina Lisitsia, while the MAVerick Ensemble has filled the galleries with experimental and innovative jazz regularly. Writers and actors have showcased their work, and a variety of artist workshops are offered throughout the year.

As in its early days, UIMA’s programs and events connect an international network of artists, musicians, and writers with West Town’s diverse local community, offering intellectually and artistically rich experiences that enhance and expand Chicago’s cultural life. The Institute holds extensive partnerships with both national and international art organizations and museums. As a core member of the Chicago Cultural Alliance, we were instrumental in developing a wide coalition of ethnic museums that partner to promote the grand diversity of our multicultural city.

The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art has pledged to serve as a leader in developing West Town into a vibrant art destination. Our strategic goals currently focus on developing an educational center for students pursuing careers in art and design. As Ukrainian Village has gentrified and diversified, we continue to grow as a vibrant fine art center dedicated to community engagement and shaping the artistic legacy of the community and our city.
