About the Foundation

EIDOS Arts Development Foundation is a non-governmental organisation committed to supporting contemporary art in Ukraine. EIDOS wants to integrate Ukrainian art into the world cultural space, as well as encourage young artists within the country. The foundation is responsible for the “EIDOS” International Visual Arts Competition, the Grant Project “Public Space 2007-2008”, an ongoing series of workshops titled “European Standards in Journalism”, as well as key contemporary art events.

EIDOS was founded and continuously supported by three major Ukrainian public figures and patrons of the arts – Ludmila Bereznitsky, Lubov Michailova and Petro Bagriy. Ludmila Bereznitsky, the President of the Foundation, is a leading Ukrainian art-critic and curator. Lubov Michailova and Petro Bahriy are the country’s leading businesspeople committed to developing contemporary art and influencing the cultural policy process.
