About this Event

Join us for a captivating afternoon with Leonard Krawchuk, a lifelong Canadian collector of Ukrainian art and cultural objects, as he shares heartfelt stories from decades of preserving Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage. Discover how his remarkable collection began, and hear firsthand how he navigated Soviet-era restrictions to visit remote Ukrainian villages and uncover their hidden histories.

Leonard will also discuss the deeply personal decision to donate his collection to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch in Toronto, ensuring these treasures continue to educate and inspire future generations.

This special talk is part of the programming for our current exhibition, Kosiv Bazaar: A Living Archive of the Carpathians, and offers a rare opportunity to explore the art and stories behind these cultural objects. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions!

Збираючи шедеври • День із Леонардом Кравчуком

Запрошуємо на винятково рідкісну зустріч з Леонардом Кравчуком — канадським колекціонером українського мистецтва. Леонард поділиться захопливими історіями зі свого багаторічного досвіду збирання предметів культурної спадщини. Ви дізнаєтесь про початки його колекціонерства, про те, як йому вдалося отримати дозвіл подорожувати українськими селами у часи, коли радянський режим суворо забороняв це представникам діаспори, а також про приховані історії, що відкриваються за зібраними речами.

Леонард також розповість, чому вирішив подарувати свою колекцію саме Українському музею Канади філії Онтаріо в Торонто. Ця зустріч — унікальна нагода почути живі спогади, відкрити тонкощі колекціонування та поставити свої запитання. Ця лекція є частиною програми нашої теперішньої виставки «Косівський базар. Живий архів Карпат».
