Ukrainian art and artists take centre-stage in FREEDOM SALON / Салон Волі, a two-week exhibition that highlights work created since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

Inspired by the European salons of the 19th century – in which artists from all disciplines would gather to share work and ideas – FREEDOM SALON / Салон Волі features the work of Ukrainian artists from a variety of disciplines, including art photography, fashion illustrations, icon paintings, petrykivka, pysanky, sculpture, street art, vyshyvanky (embroidery), vytynanky (papercutting), and war posters. Each work of art included in FREEDOM SALON / Салон Волі is stunning to behold, evocative in its own way, and borne of artistic freedom – “freedom” being a concept that is deeply valued by all Ukrainians, especially during this devastating time in history.

Opening Reception includes a fashion show of vyshyvanky embroidery by internationally renowned clothing designer Tanya Znak, live drawing by fashion illustrator Janelle Knihnitski, Ukrainian jazz performed by Taras Luka, and an array of delicious Ukrainian food from Kozak Ukrainian Eatery. 

The Exhibition is from February 19th - March 2nd, 2025
