Ada Rybachuk and Volodymyr Melnichenko Cultural Heritage Preservation Fund

The ARVM Foundation was established in 2020 by Volodymyr Melnichenko and a group of his close friends to preserve and promote the artistic legacy of Ada Rybachuk and Volodymyr Melnichenko, and to coordinate the initiatives and activities associated with ARVM.

Since its establishment, the Foundation has initiated and supported a wide range of projects and achievements, including:

• the restoration of the mosaic interiors of the Kyiv Central Bus Station;

• the inclusion of the Halls of Farewell building at Baikova Hill in the register of architectural monuments;

• securing copyright certificates for all of ARVM’s monumental works and for the majority of their paintings and sculptures;

• uncovering Berehynia, the central high relief of the Wall of Memory, from beneath the concrete;

• the ARVM studio has evolved into a museum and, beyond that, a vibrant art centre that regularly welcomes visitors;

• and many, many more.

The Foundation’s work continues.
