About Us — Samchykivka ART

Samchykivka ART is a cultural initiative dedicated to the preservation, revival, and global promotion of Samchykivka, a traditional form of Ukrainian decorative folk art known for its vibrant floral motifs, symbolism, and deep connection to Ukrainian identity.

Inspired by a team of artists, educators, and cultural advocates — including renowned Ukrainian artist and curator Anna Mykhalchuk — our mission is to bridge generations and borders by sharing the beauty and spirit of Samchykivka with the world.

🎨 What We Do

  • Art Education
    We offer workshops, classes, and online tutorials that teach the techniques and cultural context behind Samchykivka painting.

  • Cultural Preservation
    Through exhibitions, publications, and community programs, we document and celebrate the legacy of Samchykivka masters while supporting contemporary artists who carry the tradition forward.

  • Digital Access
    We are working to create a digital archive and online exhibitions of Samchykivka art to make this heritage accessible to global audiences, educators, and cultural institutions.

  • Artist Collaborations
    We partner with artists, museums, and cultural organizations to showcase the evolving role of Samchykivka in contemporary Ukrainian art.

Our Vision

At a time when Ukraine’s cultural identity is both under threat and gaining global recognition, we believe in the power of folk art as resistance, memory, and resilience. Samchykivka ART is not just about aesthetics — it is about cultural survival and expression through color, line, and story.
