We were hospitably welcomed by the Podol-Inn Hotel at the Synagogue on Shchekavytska Street. So, in addition to the presentation programme, the participants had the opportunity to visit the synagogue and learn about the history of Jewish art presented by artist and art historian Iryna Klymova. We would like to express our gratitude to all the participants and their mentors! We thank each of you for your efforts in creating works that carry the memory and important lessons of history.
