What: Group exhibition of works by Ukrainian masters
When: Friday-Sunday, April 8-10
Where: Ukrainian Institute of America 2 East 79th Street New York, NY 10075
More: This is a joint exhibition of works by Stanley Bulbach (New York), Vladimir Gankevich (Lviv, Ukraine), Yaroslava Lyalia Kuchma (Chicago) and Yaroslava Tkachuk (Lviv, Ukraine).

The resumption of the use of fiber is likely to have something to do with our increasingly virtual world, devoid of daily face-to-face contact and interaction. Textiles, on the other hand, are earthy and inherently tactile.
