New York City's 'first Ukrainian art gallery' highlights artists living in the war zone
Briefly

Artem Yalanskiy opened a gallery in Tribeca to promote Ukrainian art despite expertise in sports management. Named Mriya, it sources art directly from Ukraine, some reflecting themes of the invasion.
Initially considering cannabis promotion, Mriya now deals solely in Ukrainian art and merchandise. Some works directly address the invasion, emphasizing independence and resilience.
Yalanskiy focused on promoting Ukrainian culture positively, selecting the best artists to showcase in New York. The aim is to dissociate Ukrainians from solely being associated with war and sympathy.
