THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM: A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE After a hot, drowsy summer Fall came in with gusto bringing crisp, brisk air to wake up the Big Apple. Every where spirits were renewed and the city quickly as sumed its legendary verve with bustling activity, new ideas and projects. New York’s Ukrainian Museum en thusiastically joined in this Autumnal revival by offering a busy calendar featuring new exhibitions, courses, workshops and special events. VISUAL TESTIMONY The Ukrainian Museum’s most recent exhibition, which opened last May is titled “To Preserve a Heritage: The Story of the Ukrainian Immigration in the United States.” It documents through more than 200 photo graphs the history of Ukrainian-Americans over the last 100 years. From the first known Ukrainian settlement in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania in 1884 to the present time, the pictorial chronicle testifies to perseverance and hard work of the imigrees, their fierceness in preserving their cultural heritage as well as their love and appreciation of their new homeland. The exhibition was organized by Maria Shust, Di rector of the Ukrainian Museum and Chrystyna Pevna, the Museum’s archivist. In conjunction with this exhibition, the Museum issued a catalog both in the English and Ukrainian lan guages. Designed byAreta Buk, it contains 270 photo graphs and a historical text written by Dr. Myron B. Kuropas, guest curator of the Museum. The catalog is a remarkable publication which pa rallels the exhibition by recording the historical testim ony of the growth and development of Ukrainian com munities in America. It is appropriately divided into various chapters dealing with such topics as religion, politics, culture, the press, fraternal organizations, Ukrai- nian-American women, and business, among others. Artfully complementing each other, the photographs and the accompanying text vividly portray the heart and soul of a people. Informative educational, whimsical, tender, moving, overwhelming are but some adjectives which aptly des cribe this catalog. Without doubt it is an excellent addi tion to any library. The catelog may be purchased at the Museum at a cost of $12.50. ETCHINGS As part of the Ukrainian Museum’s photographic exhibition, 40 etchings of Nicholas Bervinchak will be displayed for viewing from October 13 through Novem ber 4, 1984. Mr. Bervinchak, a native of Pennyslvania of Ukrainian descent and his art represent a specific part of the Ukrainian immigration in the United States. Very early in life young Nicholas was subject to the harsh realities of a coal miner’s existence. Forced by unfortunate circumstances to leave school at the age of 14, he worked in the mines to help support his family. It was in the mines that his talent for drawing surfaced and the mining towns and the lives of the miners, espe cially during the Great Depression era, provided Bervin chak with subject matter for his future work. Recognized as a regionalist painter of the American scene, Nicholas Bervinchak is an artist of international stature and is represented in many collections in the United States and in Europe. Institutions such as the Whitney Museum of Art and the National Academy in New York City have exhibited his work. Eleanor Roose velt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis purchased Bervinchak’s etchings. The Library of Congress Catalogue of Ameri can Art lists two of his works. Although etching is his forte, Bervinchak is a versa tile artist and has done various church murals and iconostases. During the exhibition a limited number of prints will be available for purchase at the Museum shop. ACTIVITIES GALORE The Ukrainian Museum will sponsor several new activities in the next few months. Following is a brief description of each. — “The Evolution of the Ukrainian American Com munity,” a roundtable panel discussion focusing on the cultural and socio-political aspects of Ukrainian com munity life, is scheduled for Saturday, November 3rd at 6:30 p.m. Panelists include Dr. John Flis, Yaroslawa Surmach Mills, Helen Petryshyn and Prof. Roman Szpor- luk.

The artist will perform works by Mozart, Lysenko, Brahms, Debussy, Chopin and Barvinsky. A reception honoring Ms. Artymiw will follow the concert. Tickets for the event are available at the Museum, ARKA and the concert hall boxoffice. ’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ВЕРЕСЕНЬ—ЖОВТЕНЬ 1984 25
