The first travel grant was given to Ukrainian artist
For the third year the «Open Ukraine» Foundation implements the Cultural Horizons program, which promotes Ukrainian culture abroad and integrates Ukrainian art to the global context. Within the program the Foundation annually provides travel grants to Ukrainian artists participating in foreign festivals, exhibitions, competitions, and, therefore, representing the cultural achievements of modern Ukraine.
The first this year's travel grant was given by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk «Open Ukraine» Foundation to Myroslav Dedyshyn for participating in the Ice Alaska 2010 BP World Ice Art Championships. It is one of the most prestigious international ice-carving competitions, which will take place on February, 21 – March, 7, in Fairbanks, Alaska (USA).
This is not the first time when Myroslav Dedyshyn represents Ukraine on such competitions. Last year he won the second prize in the Solo category of the Rogers Crystal Garden Competition, which took place in Ottawa (Canada). Mr. Myroslav, with the Ukrainian national team, has also taken part in snow sculpture contest in Rouen-Noranda, Quebec (Canada) in 2009.
