The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art marks its 55th anniversary with deep pride and gratitude. What began as a humble gallery has grown into a powerful cultural voice, recognized across the United States and around the world. For over five decades, UIMA has stood as a beacon—protecting, nurturing, and sharing the soul of Ukrainian artistic expression, and carrying forward a legacy that refuses to be silenced.

We are honored to announce that UIMA’s annual benefit gala will take place on May 30th. This year’s theme, “The Enduring Legacy of Ukrainian Art: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” carries profound meaning in this moment of history. As Ukraine’s culture is being deliberately targeted and threatened, our responsibility to preserve it, to uplift it, and to ensure it lives on becomes ever more urgent. Because culture is not only memory—it is identity, resilience, and the heartbeat of a nation.

On this special evening, both galleries will be filled with the beauty, strength, and spirit of Ukrainian art. We invite you to walk among these works, to feel their stories, and to share in a night of connection, reflection, friendship, and hope.
