ethnic groups which have contributed to the cultural growth of the State. Sharon Schlegel, a reporter for the Sunday Times, one of Trenton’s major publications, re viewed the exhibition and had. this to say: “The folk art exhibit encompasses stunningly color ful, richly embroidered folk costumes and ceremonial cloths; highly stylized woven rugs and tapestries; intri cately carved wooden boxes; ornately adorned ceram ics; and more than 200 gorgeously hand-decorated U- krainian Easter eggs, the incomparably lovely "Py- sanky.” “This varied representation of the Ukrainian folk art tradition contains pieces so detailed and beautiful, so painstakingly handcrafted, so capable of moving even the jaded 1980’s observer, that we wince at the thought that the life which produced and cherished it is gone forever.” (April 22, 1984) The curator for the exhibition is Luba Wolynetz. It can be viewed at the State Museum through June 17, 1984. SPEAKING OF EGGS.... On April 20, of this year, The New York Times had a headline which said, “Big Apple Becomes the Big Egg for the Easter Weekend.” Below the headline the presti gious publication announced that there will be a display of the making of Ukrainian Easter eggs at the Ukrainian Museum. The New York Post, of the same date, in formed its readers that “If you’re dyeing to be artistic...” the Ukrainian Museum is the place to go to view more than pysanky on display. Pysanka, the exquisite expression of Ukrainian tra ditional folk art has been getting quite an exposure in the media thanks to the permanent exhibit of hundred of them at the Ukrainian Museum and the programs spon sored by the Museum, mainly courses and workshops in the making of pysanky. The beginning of Spring always brings a renewed interest in the intricately painted eggs, with an eye toward Easter and more wonderlful tradi tions to observe. The Daily News, March 25th, 1984 Sunday edition, carried an informative article about pysanky and the Museum, by Joan Shepard. A short narrative in The New York Times, April 5th, ’84 also talked about the art of pysanky painting and directed those interested to the Ukrainian Museum and its pysanky workshops. Maureen Sullivan, a feature writer for The Daily Journal in New Jersey, went into great detail in her article on pysanky and the Museum, which ran in the newspaper on April 20th, 1984. Last but not least, New York Newsday printed a picture on April 22nd, ’84 of three young ladies painting pysanky at the Ukrainian Museum. HISTORY THROUGH THE EYE OF THE CAMERA “To Preserve a Heritage: The Story of the Ukrainian Immigration in the United States,” is the title of the Museum’s newest exhibition, which will open on May 20, 1984. The photographic collection consisting of 200 pic tures, supplemented by archival materials and informa tive pamphlets will document the social and cultural his tory of Ukrainian-Americans over the past 100 years. The exhibition was organized by Maria Shust, Direc tor of The Ukrainian Museum, Dr. Myron B. Kuropas, Guest Curator, and Chrystyna Pevny, the Museum’s Archivist. The designer of the exhibition is Zenon Fesz- cak, Art Director of the Port of History Museum in Philadelphia. Although primarily conceived as a tribute to the early immigrants, those who came to America between 1880’s and 1914, and then between the two World Wars, the pictorial presentation will give an overview of the four waves of Ukrainian immigration to the U.S. Through photographs, it will attempt to illustrate the adjustments of these people to their new home in Amer ica. A 100-page catalog, containing more than 270 pho tographs will be available, accompanying the exhibition. The text to the catalog was written by Dr. Kuropas. This informative publication will be presented both in English and Ukrainian editions. The catalog was designed by Areta Buk. LOOKING AHEAD Lydia Hajduczok, Ukrainian Museum Public Relations and Press officer said that the Museum is planning sev eral fund raising affairs. On June 3, 1984 a Seaside Fete in Springlake, NJ, will take place. During the course of the afternoon guests will view the paintings, sculpture and ceramics of artist Aka Pereyma. During the event, guests will be entertained by Tempo orchestra. In November of this year, though seemingly far away is closer than we think, The Ukrainian Museum will host a concert at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The guest artist will be pianist Lydia Artymiv. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Museum's building fund. “Other plans for activities sponsored by the Muse um have not been defined at this point,” said Mrs. Haj duczok, “but will be announced in detail as soon as they are finalized.” For information concerning all Ukrainian Museum exhibits and activities, contact: The Ukrainian Museum, 203 Second Ave., New York, NY 10003 or call (212) 228-0110. ’НАШЕ Ж ИТТЯ”, ТРАВЕНЬ-ЧЕРВЕНЬ 1984 31
