The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (UIMA) (
Six to seven major exhibits are held in the main gallery which occupies 2,100 square feet (200 m2). Two side galleries house the permanent collection which includes the work of Chicago artists as well as that of sculptors and painters of Ukrainian descent.
UIMA is committed to a program of exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and multidisciplinary events relevant and challenging to all members of the community. The immediate neighborhood is home to an ethnically diverse population and offers a wide variety of cultural events. UIMA is a not-for-profit organization.
In 2011, the Institute celebrated its 40th anniversary.
In 2010 the museum hosted a career retrospective of the art of Gladys Nilsson, noted member of the "Hairy Who" art group.[1]
