We specifically reach out to our youth in Ukraine and abroad who are interested in distance learning. Through the years of COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing war, our Academy and department have successfully adopted and developed an effective hybrid learning system for teaching fine arts, as well as classical and contemporary monumental painting techniques. This includes online education, supported by a continuously evolving virtual learning environment. Even during the war, our students continue to create exhibitions and work on murals both in Ukraine and abroad.
We understand the challenges faced by our fellow citizens who have lost their homes and were forced to relocate to safer cities. We believe that the time will soon come when our country will need artistic professionals to renew and rebuild beautiful Ukrainian cities, marking a new era for monumental art. Our department recognizes this demand, preserves its artistic traditions, and is committed to passing them on to ambitious and inspired talents who envision their future in Ukraine.
Join our new Applicant Chat: “STREET ART AND MONUMENTAL ART / BACHELOR’S – ADMISSION 2026”, where we will hold introductory meetings, preparatory classes, and consultations for the entrance exam.
For any questions, please contact the department lecturer Maria Mandrykina (@maria_art_May).
