The Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Charitable Foundation (AACCF), in collaboration with ELIA, the European League of Institutes of the Arts, on 15th November 2022 announces its largest gift to date to support art students and universities in Ukraine. EKA is part of the platform.
The scheme, known as the UAx Platform, will support war-affected art students who have remained in Ukraine hoping to continue their degree studies and build their artistic practice, and Ukrainian Higher Arts Education institutions which are struggling to deliver teaching during a time of crisis.
The award was announced to coincide with the opening of a major Tate Modern exhibition of Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930 – 2017), offering visitors a rare opportunity to explore an extraordinary body of the artist’s pioneering textile sculptures, known as Abakans.
