#EdAH Art unites: international forum in Ivano-Frankivsk

2025.11.07

On November 5, the territory of the Potocki Palace complex turned into a true hub of creativity, inspiration, and new ideas - as it hosted the International Art Forum within the project “Educational-Artistic Horizons beyond the Borders”.

The event was officially opened by Mayor Ruslan Martsinkiv, who welcomed the participants and emphasized that such initiatives make Ivano-Frankivsk a city open to dialogue and international cooperation.

Participants joined a lively discussion, “How does non-formal art education work for teenagers?”, where Anna Potyomkina, Annychka Zhurakivska, Olya Polyak, and Liana Komardenko sincerely shared their experiences. Afterwards, they immersed themselves in practice - experimenting with 3D printing with Daryna Soroka and seeing photography through the lens of Serhiy Melnychenko.

The forum gathered over 100 participants - representatives of the artistic community of Ivano-Frankivsk and partners from Botoșani County (Romania). It was a day of lively communication, new connections, and inspiration that united artists, educators, curators, cultural managers, and everyone shaping the art scene today.

The event became a vivid example of how art can unite people, cross borders, and open new perspectives for collaboration.
