PinchukArtCentre, Contemporary art center in central Kyiv, Ukraine.
PinchukArtCentre occupies six floors of a restored early 21st-century architectural ensemble in Kyiv's Bessarabka quarter, with interiors designed by French architect Philippe Chiambaretta. Exhibition halls span four floors, a video lounge and café sit on the sixth, and the total area exceeds 3,000 m². The centre opened on 16 September 2006.
The centre was founded in 2006 by Ukrainian businessman Victor Pinchuk and was among the first venues of its kind in the country. Since opening, it has grown into a key space for contemporary art in Eastern Europe.
The PinchukArtCentre regularly shows work by young Ukrainian artists alongside international names, giving the building a particular kind of energy. Visitors can see how local and global art perspectives sit side by side in the same rooms.
The centre occupies six floors of the restored Bessarabian quarter ensemble, with galleries on four floors, a video lounge and café on the sixth, and curators' workspace. The architectural project and interior design were by French architect Philippe Chiambaretta. The total area exceeds 3,000 m², so allow time to move between floors.
The centre awards the Future Generation Art Prize, an international prize for artists under 35, given every two years. Through this award, some artists who are now known internationally were first introduced to a wider audience.
