Pinchuck Art Center
The Pinchuk Art Centre was founded in September 2006 by businessman Victor Pinchuk. It is one of the most important and dynamic private centres for contemporary art in Central and Eastern Europe. With more than 3 million visitors, the PinchukArtCentre has become an international centre for contemporary art.
In 2016, the PinchukArtCentre launched the Research Platform as a pioneering project to create a living archive of Ukrainian art from the early 1980s to the present. The research is continuously shared with the public through exhibitions, publications and discussions.
At the same time, the PinchukArtCentre established the Future Generation Art Prize and the PinchukArtCentre Prize, awards for young contemporary artists. These awards have made the institution a leading centre for emerging artists in Ukraine and at the international level.
