Ukrainian Art Center is the heartbeat of the Ukrainian Community in LA County. We deliver needed support to community and cultural outreach, through meaningful experiences such as: international exchange and educational programs for local and global audiences as well as students, scholars, artists; visitor activities featuring exhibitions, lectures, workshops, performances, seasonal festivals. We continue to form partnerships with peer institutions throughout the world, providing media support pursuing the mission to preserve, and promote and present the beauty of Ukrainian art and culture for the benefit of all.  

Cultural diplomacy is an essential tool of public diplomacy and soft power that includes the exchange of ideas, information, art, language, and other aspects of culture among nations and their peoples in order to foster mutual understanding. UAC cultural diplomacy programs and culture–related events play an important role in enabling a better understanding of cultural identity through intercultural dialogue within the international community. UAC cultural programs and events promote the values of peace and nonviolence, freedom of expression, and wider respect for diversity. Ukrainian Art Center stands for the protection of cultural rights which are central to sustaining a peaceful inclusive society.
