Opening Reception and Panel Discussion: Saturday, January 10, 2026 6-8pm

“As the devastating war in Ukraine continues, many in the US arts communities and the public at large continue to support Ukraine’s valiant fight against the aggressor. At the same time, many Americans are curious to know more about Ukrainian people and their culture. This show will be one opportunity for our member artists, patrons and viewers to learn through encounters with excellent contemporary artists with roots in Ukraine. The title of the exhibition references the significance of the Nightingale to Ukraine’s historical, cultural narrative and to demonstrate that this intrepid songbird continues to sing even when far from home. This is not intended as a political exhibition, however art with a political message may certainly e a component.”

Artists: Melanka Coppola, Paul Wirhun, Nathalie Halbout
