“Ў” Gallery of Contemporary Art

The Ў Gallery of Contemporary Art in Minsk displays works from both established and emerging Belarusian artists using diverse media, painting, sculpture, and installation. The exhibition spaces continuously rotate collections, presenting new perspectives on current artistic practice.

The gallery opened in October 2009 as a new platform for contemporary art in Belarus during a period of growing artistic interest. Since its founding, it has become an important venue for supporting new creative voices in the region.

The space serves as a gathering place where people engage directly with artists and contemporary creation. Regular talks and events here bring together the local art community and visitors interested in current artistic practice.

The gallery is centrally located and easily accessible by foot or public transport from most parts of the city. Visitors can come at various times throughout the day, allowing flexible planning around other activities.

The gallery takes its name from the Belarusian letter Ў, a sound that exists only in that language. This choice reflects a deeper connection to local identity and linguistic heritage that visitors often discover during their visit.
