The Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts congratulates our beloved Kharkiv on City Day!

For every Kharkiv resident, this is the most wonderful city on Earth — a city of strength, talent, and resilience. This is where we study, work, create, and feel a true sense of community. Kharkiv is a city that knows how to fight and how to overcome challenges.

Under the Ukrainian flag, our defenders hold the frontline, giving us the opportunity to live, work, and study. And all of us — students, lecturers, artists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and residents — make our contribution every day so that our city flourishes and becomes even stronger.

Kharkiv is defined not only by its present, but also by its rich history. It is a city of universities and academies, scientific discoveries, and cultural achievements — a city that has always been a centre of education, art, and intellectual life in Ukraine.

Kharkiv is our home, our pride, and our love. Happy City Day, dear Kharkiv! May peaceful skies always be above you, as they will one day be above the whole of Ukraine!
