The Frontline Vidnova Project supports Ukrainian artists currently serving on the frontline, released from captivity, or returned home as veterans, together with their families. The program combines artist-residencies, trauma-informed therapy, mentoring and community events to support recovery, artistic continuity and reintegration into society while strengthening dialogue between military and civilian communities.
The exhibition is organized by Creative Residence MC6 and Vidnova Spilno-To-You with the Association of Ukrainians in Finland as part of the Ukraine Season Festival 2026 in collaboration with Kirkko Helsingissä and supported by Artists at Risk (AR).
We thank the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland, and our donors and partners which contributed to the Frontline Vidnova Project through the work of Artists at Risk (AR).
