Contemporary Art Center M17

M17 – Contemporary Art Center, founded in 2010 aiming at the development and transformation of Ukrainian society through artistic processes.
The main focus of the art center is the popularization of art. M17 enriches, provokes, inspires and attracts with art, organizing public exhibitions and educational programs.

CAC M17 is the largest single non-state exhibition space in the capital of Ukraine. Every year the art center is visited by more than 100 thousand guests.

M17 is a non-governmental cultural institution. We exist due to implemented projects and the support of our partners – national and international cultural organizations, responsible business and philanthropists.

M17 is located in the area where Kazimir Malevich, the founder of Suprematism, grew up. Back in days, Fyodor Krichevsky, Reinhold Gliere, Lesia Ukrainka, the family of Alexander Dovzhenko and other artists lived nearby. We strive to spotlight this area on the artistic map of the city, with the support of modern artists, architects and cultural institutions.

 

The Contemporary Art Center M17 is a non-profit creative center that unites the Ukrainian art community and sets the following goals:

  • Popularize Ukrainian modern art.
  • To build a cultural center to support and develop art projects and art sphere professionals.
  • Reveal to the audience the palette and ways of perception of modern art.
  • Retrieve the historical value of the artistic district of Kyiv and create an art hub in the vicinity of the street of Kazimir Malevich.
