An exhibition which celebrates the experiences of young Ukrainian artists is set to take place at Manchester Central Library.<\/a><\/p>\n

This exhibition will comprise of works created by Ukrainian artists from the city of Lviv, presenting a unique collection of works which explore the ongoing impact of the war in Ukraine. Not only on the country itself, but the people who are living through it.<\/p>\n

Participants were supported by the Sunflower Dreams Project, which showcases the work of Ukrainian children in exhibitions across the European Union, the United Kingdom and North America.<\/p>\n

In addition to the work created by Ukrainian artists, there will also be creative responses from Manchester school children displayed alongside their work. <\/p>\n

These pieces of art are the outcome of creative workshops run by arts charity\u00a0\u2018Never Such Innocence\u2019<\/a>, which has helped provide young people with a voice on the subject of conflict.<\/p>\n

Councillor John Hacking<\/p>\n

Councillor John Hacking, Executive Member for Skills, Employment and Leisure, said:\u00a0\u201cWe have been incredibly proud of our partnership with Lviv and helping to share stories around the ongoing conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe so often find that art springs forth from some of the most challenging circumstances and this exhibition is no different. It will be both a poignant and uplifting experience to see art created by these young artists whose lives have been touched by war.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd by our own Mancunian artists contributing we will in our own way be showing solidarity with the people of Lviv and Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n
