Castleton University Hosts Exhibition of Ukrainian Art in Anticipation of Fundraising Auction
Castleton, VT (03/18/2022) — Eleven Ukrainian posters from the early 1990s will be on display at the Calvin Coolidge Library at Castleton University through March 24.
On Thursday, March 24 at 4:30 p.m. Rutland-based artist and former Castleton faculty member Bill Ramage will deliver a gallery talk about his visit to Ukraine thirty years ago and the work of the artists he met there, including Vladimir and Irena Veshtak, who not only hosted Ramage during his trip but brought the original posters with them from Ukraine to the United States. This event is free and open to the public.
Following the exhibit, the posters - produced by Ukrainian artists - will be sent to the Rennert's Gallery in New York City to be auctioned. All funds raised through the auction will benefit the Ukrainian Medical Association of North America.
For more information on the auction and dates, please contact bethmiller817@gmail.com.
