Sporidneni is a charity art project created in partnership with Gallery 101, Dzyga Art Center and the Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum in Lviv. The main partner of the project is the International Renaissance Foundation. We managed to organise a large-scale project for social adaptation of children aged 8 to 16 through engagement with art. 
It brought together Ukrainian artists and children living in boarding schools and family-type orphanages for a unique experience of creating joint works of art. 

Children worked together with the artists on this task, seeking their own vision and discovering their potential.
