East Meets West: Women Icon Makers of West Ukraine / Sept. 8 - November 18

The Verostko Center is pleased to announce its Fall 2022 exhibition, East Meets West: Women Icon Makers of West Ukraine. On loan from the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection, East Meets West pays tribute to 8 innovative artists, students of a new school of iconography in the cultural center of Lviv who blend traditional Byzantine iconography, modernist painting techniques, and elements of Eastern European folk art to visualize Christian narratives as both ancient and accessible. In a field historically dominated by men, these women and their contemporaries are boldly elaborating on historical conventions, viewing the practice of icon making as a living tradition that entices prayer and contemplation.

Opening Reception / September 8

Stop by the Center to view the exhibition and enjoy light refreshments from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Reservations are not required. ​All are welcome.
