Summer residence program is organized by the NGO “Congress of Cultural Activists” in cooperation with NGO “Youth Center Development “BRIDGE” and NGO “ the Heavenly Hundred Heroes Family”. The program was taking place in the home Ternopil village of the Heavenly Hundred Hero Nazar Voitovych during 2 weeks. Six artists that were chosen in accordance with competition results, created their projects in new studios of Nazar Voitovich Art residence, deeping into the context and communicating with the locals. The special place for inspiration was a village that is unique because of its calmness and beautiful landscapes full of life.
