On Thursday, 2 October 2025, the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC), in partnership with Asters, hosted a special ArtAsters Reception showcasing “IT’S TIME”, an exhibition by the renowned Ukrainian monumentalist Oleksandr Melnyk. The collection, rooted in Ukraine’s historical and spiritual traditions, reflects themes of memory, dignity, and national identity — offering a resonant portrait of the country’s resilience.
Eric P. Luhmann, Chair of the USUBC Executive Committee, commented: “As a business organisation, we work closely with a diverse array of partners to strengthen economic and commercial ties between the United States and Ukraine. However, we recognise that true progress and understanding are rooted in deep social and cultural engagement. Our ongoing collaboration with Asters on the ArtAsters project not only enriches our constituents’ appreciation of Ukrainian culture but also fosters meaningful connections that transcend borders. ArtAsters continues to unite people through the vibrant power of Ukrainian art.”
The event was held at Asters’ office in the Leonardo Business Center, Kyiv, and brought together representatives of the diplomatic, legal, business, and cultural communities.
