The Embassy of Ukraine in the State of Qatar has the honour to announce the launch of a new permanent cultural and artistic platform - The Virtual Museum "UKRAINE: NEW ERA ART".

It was done in cooperation with well-known in Qatar Ukrainian artists Andriy and Nadiya Chernovil. The main goal of this project is to showcase properly modern Ukraine and masterpieces of the Ukrainian artists to the Qatari and eventually to the wider audience.

CHERNOVIL ART GALLERY is located in the heart of Qatar in The Gate Mall. This is a platform purpose-built, contemporary exhibition space that serves the Visual Art, Art History Art Theory and Curatorial Studies.

Providing a site for cultural diplomacy and faculty artistic and curatorial collaborations from the international art field. The Gallery collaborates with international artists and curators "outside the box". The Gallery allows for interactions on issues relating to art, culture, and creative research within the framework of inter-museum cooperation. 

Upcoming exhibition displays works of 10 prominent Ukrainian representatives of different generations and schools of art (painting and graphics). It includes masterpieces of Ivan Marchuk, Viktor Sydorenko, Petro Antip, Kateryna Kosyanenko, Olena Pryduvalova, Serhiy Gay, Denys Sarazhyn, Andriy Chernovil, Oksana Stratiychuk and Olesya Dzhurayeva.
