Spring Finds & Artistic Treasures 🌿🖌️
Art, community, & the legacy of Adele Kereliuk
|
|
Our Spring Market, taking place May 2 & 3, 2026, is a beloved seasonal tradition that brings the community together in support of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada – Ontario Branch and St.Volodymyr Institute. This year, the market will also feature a special collection of original sketches, drawings, and paintings by Adele Kereliuk, with all proceeds supporting the Museum.
|
Adele Kereliuk (1925–2024) was a Ukrainian Canadian artist whose work reflected a lifelong sensitivity to colour, form, and cultural memory. She was known for her detailed miniatures and expressive studies of nature and the human form, often drawing on Ukrainian traditions as a source of inspiration. Those who knew her remember her vibrant personality, alongside her deep creative spirit. She is remembered as both an artist and a cultural bearer – someone who lived with creativity at her core, using her art to reflect beauty, preserve Ukrainian identity, and share a deeply felt vision of her world. |

Beyond her art, Adele was a devoted supporter of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada (Ontario Branch), the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada, and St. Volodymyr Institute. Through both her creative work and her generosity, she helped sustain the cultural life of her community. Her art continues to give back – extending a legacy of care, creativity, and quiet dedication, one that will continue to live on at the Museum through a thoughtful bequest of her estate.

Kosiv Bazaar • A Living Archive of the Carpathians is an exhibition drawn from the collection of Leonard Krawchuk, inspired by the unique phenomenon of the Hutsul bazaar in Kosiv. A place where – for centuries – craft, community, and the beauty of everyday life have intersected. The Kosiv Bazaar is more than just a market – it is living memory, cultural force, and a space of gathering. We invite you to experience an exhibition where trade becomes culture, and the bazaar becomes a living metaphor for community. This exhibition is generously sponsored by:
