About ACAFU
Association of Contemporary Art Figures of Ukraine unites artists of various genres and directions who are engaged in contemporary art in Ukraine, creating works of art, projects and events.
The division of artists into five different genres is a completely arbitrary division, but this is how art works and is perceived by the world. Festivals, cinema halls, theaters, exhibitions, concert halls, publishing houses, art biennials, book fairs - operate within these directions.

Activities of the Association
Our association was established as a charitable organization, the Charitable Foundation Association of Contemporary Art Figures of Ukraine (ACAFU).
