Ukrainian myths catalogue available

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - A catalogue of Ukrainian artwork from the "Ukrainian Myths, Legends and Folklore" art exhibit in Detroit has been released.

The exhibit, held in Detroit's prestigious Scarab Club, opened on October 8, 1995, and ran through October 26, 1995. Over 1,000 viewers explored the exhibit, which featured oils, etchings, mixed media, silk paintings, batiks and photographs by 38 artists from the United States, Ukraine and Canada.

The objective of the exhibit, according to its sponsor, the Association of Advancement for Ukrainian Culture (ADUK), was threefold: to reclaim Ukrainian myths and legends; to encourage artists of Ukrainian descent to research Ukrainian folklore and depict their interpretations visually; and to acquaint a culturally diversified viewing audience with Ukrainian mythology.

"Ukrainian Myths, Legends and Folklore" is the third exhibit sponsored by ADUK at the Scarab Club. In 1990 the art association sponsored the exhibit "21 Ukrainian Artists," and in 1991, the exhibit "Chornobyl - Five Years After."

The black-and-white catalogue featuring artwork and myths is available for $8 (including shipping and handling) from: ADUK, 2582 Otter, Warren, Ml 48092; (810) 268-4729.
