This exhibition is a collection of the best shots of Ukrainian Festivals in Baltimore City since 2006. I was fascinated and inspired by richness of preserving Ukrainian culture and traditions in Ukrainian community of USA. There is happiness, there is sadness, there is passion, there are colors, attributes of deeply rooted Ukrainian culture shaped through the centuries.

This Exhibition is dedicated to my dear friend, my teacher, Ukrainian poet, journalist and my sister in Christ Olgi Olzynskiy (Bondaruk)
