Art Celebration: The Opening of a New Exhibition
On June 25, the Central City Library named after I. Franko in Odessa hosted a true celebration of art—the grand opening of the exhibition "Dreams of Reality" by the talented artist Elena Lebedeva.
This vibrant cultural event was made possible through the joint efforts of poet and project curator Alexander Drozdov and the library's administration. They created a warm atmosphere where art spoke the language of dreams and inspiration.
Guests were greeted with heartfelt words by Vladimir Krania, Rita Kolobova, and other artists and friends of the author—each sharing their thoughts on Elena's creativity and her unique vision of the world.
Head of the reading room, Nicholas Radyshevsky, conducted a brief excursion into the artistic language of the paintings, helping viewers to better feel the depth and philosophy of the works.
Alexander Drozdov, who moderated the meeting, not only professionally conducted the event but also warmly congratulated the artist on the opening of the exhibition. The atmosphere was enhanced by poetic readings and musical performances by Larisa Sokolska and students from the 11th School of Arts.
At the end of the evening, Elena Lebedeva thanked everyone who participated in this important event for her 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 for Mondays.
