TSVEET: Flowers of the Nation

The Chelsea Theatre in London, UK will host a captivating showcase of Ukrainian art.

By presenting you TSVEET: Flowers of the Nation, we are hoping to tell you the story not just about the colourful flowers depicted in the paintings but also to give you an insight to a much deeper meaning of the word 'tsveet' for each Ukrainian: 'tsveet' means 'blossom'. The phrase 'Tsveet of the Nation' is rendered as 'BEST OF THE BEST'.

Ukraine is losing ITS BEST SONS AND DAUGHTERS every day, its TSVEET, its BLOSSOM, and it is to them that we dedicate the exhibition.

The exhibition features works by renowned Ukrainian artists, all studio-based within Ukraine, offering a unique opportunity to experience their creativity firsthand and purchase their artworks, which were shipped from the war-torn country specifically for this event. These artists had major exhibitions in Ukraine and across Europe, and despite facing challenging times, have generously donated their works.

With this event, we'd like to highlight the ongoing situation in Ukraine and the need for sustained support. Our hope is to generate funds specifically for procuring medical supplies and equipment for Ukrainian relief efforts.

Save lives with art!

The exhibition is open to viewers on 3-8 March, and we are holding a special welcome event on Sunday 3 March @ 1-6 pm where you will have an opportunity to watch the videos of the artists talking about their artwork, purchase the paintings and enjoy live music with a glass of wine. Our guest musicians are Iryna Rodionva (bandura) and Nazar Voronov (piano).

This event is supported by the Chelsea Theatre and Ukrainian Mums United.
