On June 25, a memorable art celebration took place at the Central City Library named after I. Franko in Odesa — the opening of the painting exhibition "Dreams of Reality" by the talented artist Olena Lebedeva.

This vibrant cultural event was made possible through the collaborative efforts of poet and project curator Oleksandr Drozdov and the library's management. They created a warm atmosphere where art spoke the language of inspiration.

Guests were greeted by Vladimir Krania, Rita Kolobova, and other artists and friends of the author, each sharing their thoughts on Olena's creativity and her unique perspective on the world.

Head of the reading room, Nikolai Radyshevsky, conducted a brief tour into the artistic language of the paintings, helping the audience better grasp the depth and philosophy of the works.

Oleksandr Drozdov, who moderated the event, not only professionally conducted the meeting but warmly welcomed the artist on the opening of the exhibition. The atmosphere was enhanced by poetry readings and musical performances by Larysa Sokolska and students from the 11th Art School.

At the end of the evening, Olena Lebedeva expressed her gratitude to everyone who participated in this significant event and gifted handmade postcards to the children.

We invite everyone to visit the exhibition throughout the month — daily from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM, except Mondays.
