Yaroslava & The Ukrainian Village School Program
Ukrainian American artist Yaroslava Surmach Mills, daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, grew up in New York City’s Ukrainian Village. In this program for grades K–12, students take a short walking tour one block from the Museum into the heart of the neighborhood, exploring the sites that shaped Yaroslava’s cultural identity and the history of the Ukrainian immigrant community that built this vibrant area.
Students are introduced to the Ukrainian folk art tradition of reverse glass painting, which informed Yaroslava’s signature style of lively, whimsical, brightly colored scenes. The program explores themes of identity, community building, folk art, and cultural heritage. It concludes with an art-making workshop in which students create their own reverse glass paintings inspired by her work.
Duration: 90 minutes
Fee: $7 per student
