Women in Arts Award
Ukrainian art award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Women in Arts Award is an award established in 2019 by UN Women Ukraine and the Ukrainian Institute, and presented as part of HeForShe Ukraine's annual arts week in March.[2] Only women are nominated for the award; its purpose is to bring attention to the achievements of female artists in Ukraine, who have been historically overlooked by the Ukrainian arts scene.[3]
