It has been some time since the Museum has published Museum News. We hope you will see from the articles in this edition that we have been very busy in the last couple of years. Many projects have been undertaken and many visitors have come through our doors. We reach even more through social media on line. In the course of a year the Museum’s press releases and posts reach tens of thousands of individuals. Whether or not we reach people in person or through the unfathomable means of a computer, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada in Saskatoon is a resource centre, an oasis, a sanctuary and a sacred place of the very best that the Ukrainian Canadian community has to offer. This is a museum for all people and it shines in all seasons. Turn the pages and see what we have been doing! Janet C. Prebushewsky Danyliuk Director and Cheif Executive Officer Ìóçåéíi Âiñòi 1 This is a very significant anniversary year for the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. It was established eighty years ago in Saskatoon. The Museum is a federally incorporated Not For Profit Corporation which by its very definition does not have an owner. Although it was founded by the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada in 1936, since its legal incorporation initiated by the U.W.A.C. in 1975, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada of the U.W.A.C., has been an independent and separate legal entity as defined by federal legislation. This was confirmed following extensive legal research and confirmed by the Government of Canada during the mandatory filing of Articles of Continuance in compliance with the new Not For Profit Act of October 2014. The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is an entity onto itself and autonomous. It is governed by a Board of Directors and Administrated by a Director who is its Chief Executive Officer. Ensuring that the legacy of the numerous waves of Ukrainian immigration to Canada is safe is a daily quest of the employees of the Museum. Presenting that story to the Museum’s visitors is one of epic proportions and is an obligation and responsibility that we rise to every single day. We are reminded of the importance of this task by our visitors, by our members, volunteers, media agencies, organizations, museums, galleries, politicians, and by the global community. We serve the general public and the many individuals that we connect with every day. Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada, circa 1936 Museum visitors Happy time! Everyone loves a selfie! 2 Museum News As guardians of the collection of memorabilia, clothing, artwork, documents, library materials and photographs, we are drawn to the interweaving of these innumerable treasures, the connections that they have to each other, the epic stories they tell and the collective trust that has been placed upon our shoulders to carry on in spite of any challenges or obstacles that might rise up in front of us. For the only real obstacles are a lack of imagination and a lack of will. At the end of the day, any controversies or challenges can be surmounted. We trust that you will like what you see when you visit in what ever way you can, be it by visiting in person, by following the Museum on social media or by visiting the Museum’s website. We hope that we have done our visitors and founders proud. Gallery artifacts Ìóçåéíi Âiñòi 3 TREE OF LIFE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN REPORT Summer has arrived bringing new life to the world around us. The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is pleased to announce that the Tree of Life Fundraising Campaign has raised $735,799.24 towards strengthening the roots and financial security of this world class heritage institution. The Museum’s next major plans are directed toward modernization and enhancement of our main permanent gallery, a tribute worthy of national pride. The Gallery will continue to portray the beauty and creativity of our culture and heritage. The refurbishment of the gallery will demonstrate the Museum’s mission which is dedicated to the preservation of the legacy and gifts left to us by our ancestors. The goal is to fulfill the Campaign’s aim to provide a solid foundation for a new generation of visitors and members. Golden June, batik by Olha Tkachenko Since launching its campaign in November 2011, several notable projects have enhanced the Museum. The gift shop has been renovated, allowing for increased inventory and increased revenue; the William Kurelek gallery has been enhanced with a video presentation; the Museum collections continue to be digitized; vibrant signage greets our visitors; five exterior showcase windows (with the generous financial assistance of the SUS Foundation of Canada,) are now illuminated through the night projecting details of the Museum’s Ukrainian Pioneer Women collection of paintings by William Kurelek. There are many more projects to complete and dreams to realize. One of the main goals of the Tree of Life Campaign is a focus on Planned Giving – leaving a legacy to future generations so that they too have the opportunity to embrace and cherish the gifts that are given to us in trust. The Spadshchyna Honour Roll was established to recognize individuals who have left a bequest for the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. This is a way of acknowledging their generosity and forward thinking. We invite you to do the same. Please consider becoming a Spadshchyna member when you do your estate planning. You are also invited to consider donating to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada in honour of birthdays, anniversaries, or in memory of loved ones. The First Meeting, William Kurelek 4 Museum News Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. Your donations and bequests are essential to sustaining the Museum for generations to come. Your gift to the Tree of Life Campaign or your commitment to the Spadshchyna Honour Roll will help support the heart and soul of the Museum.

LONGTIME MUSEUM MEMBER CELEBRATES 100th BIRTHDAY We are pleased to announce that long time Museum member and Spadshchyna Honour Roll member, Bernice Mysak turned 100 years old on May 16, 2016. Friends and family gathered with Bernice at Ilarion Residence in Saskatoon to celebrate her life and to honour this very special woman. In lieu of gifts or cards, Bernice and her family designated the Museum’s Tree of Life campaign for donations to commemorate this extremely significant and beautiful day. Bernice spent her birthday the way she wanted to… surrounded by her immediate and extended family. She was born to Joseph and Mary Ortynsky on May 16, 1916 on the family farm near Verigan, Saskatchewan. She met Walter Mysak, her future husband, while staying at Mohyla Institute. During their married life, they were very active in their local congregations of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada in both Buchanan and Canora. They raised three children; Donna Dagnone, +David Mysak and Marlene Mysak. Bernice is the founding President of the Buchanan UWAC. Bernice has been a member of UWAC for 75 years and continues to be an active supporter of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. She is blessed with six grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and one step great grandson. We invite other families and individuals to commemorate special days and moments with a tribute and donation to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada Tree of Life Campaign. Ìóçåéíi Âiñòi Ìíîãàÿ Ëiòà!

Many Happy Years! 5 ROYAL CANADIAN MINT ISSUES ‘PYSANKA’ COIN The Royal Canadian Mint released a special coin in February 2016 minted in honour of the 125 th Anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Canada. The popular and iconic Ukrainian Easter Egg, the Pysanka was chosen as a symbol of the legacy of this settlement. This is the first coin ever minted in the shape of an egg. It is 99.99% Pure Silver. Only four thousand were released and they sold out very quickly. The Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Saskatoon provided the historical background and research information regarding colours and symbols that were chosen for this project. The title of “expert vetter” was assigned to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada for the assistance given to the Mint for this very special venture. WHAT DO OUR VISITORS HAVE TO SAY? The Ukrainian Museum of Canada has welcomed many guests from all four corners of the world in the past year. Visitors from South Africa, Malaysia, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, Germany, South Korea, Japan, Egypt, Australia, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Russia, Iraq, Nepal, Somalia, England, Croatia, Canada, Ukraine and the United States have enjoyed our galleries and gift shop. Many guests tell us that they heard about the Ukrainian Museum of Canada on an internet site called Trip Advisor. The Museum is listed as one of the “Top Ten Things to Do in Saskatoon” on this site. Our visitors have given the Museum a very impressive 4.5 out of a possible 5 stars for their experience. These are some reviews of the Museum that were posted by them on Trip Advisor: “We thought we would pop in on the way past. Surprisingly good and very interesting to learn about Ukrainian settlers.” “Mystery of the Eastern Culture and church” This is one place that I will always want to go to if there is an opportunity. The museum speaks so loud of culture, customs and tradition. Their exhibits show how delicate they value little things. The handicraft, the icons, the Easter eggs designed intricately as if very tiny hands made them. I want to go to visit our heritage. Hutsul men’s wedding hat 6 I am not from this culture and that’s what made me want to find out more about Ukrainian heritage. This great museum on Spadina Cres in Saskatoon embodies the culture for the past 100 years and allows easy to follow flow of the exhibits. The staff were excited to meet all who enter and where very helpful in providing specific detail to questions on the culture of Ukraine. I spend over two hours touring the exhibits and learning all about Easter eggs and the art of decorating them, but more importantly the religious heritage behind the Easter eggs. I want to come back just to make myself... “Awesome museum” I had time to kill so I thought I’d pop in. Wow, was I surprised. I never knew about the Ukrainian history of Saskatchewan. I was amazed at the displays. The workers were knowledgeable and friendly. I’m glad I stopped by. In the June issue of West Jet’s in flight magazine, the Museum was mentioned in the cover feature about Saskatoon.

Connections have been made that even a decade ago were unimaginable. The Museum has over 2,000 regular followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram with the numbers increasingly dramatically every month. A posting of an antique map from the Museum’s collection on Facebook with a discussion regarding the use of the article “the” in reference to Ukraine brought approximately three thousand “likes” as responses or reactions are called. A “Tweet” during International Museum Week on Twitter of William Kurelek’s painting entitled Second Home from the Museum’s collection, brought over ten thousand views. These statistics are indicative of the value, respect and recognition that the Ukrainian Museum of Canada receives on the international stage. The seemingly limitless reach of this electronic communication is a constant source of amazement. Shown are some of our most popular social media posts. The Museum continues to receive unprecedented traditional media coverage throughout the year with numerous feature articles, and photographs published in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, the Regina Leader Post, the Winnipeg Free Press, Flow Magazine, Planet S, Saskatoon Express, West Jet In Flight and Bridges. Internet Travel sites including Trip Advisor and Expedia.com place the Ukrainian Museum of Canada highly on their lists of “Things to Do in Saskatoon”. Articles can be found in these publications on numerous topics including travel, the arts, religion, heritage and spirituality.

Ìóçåéíi Âiñòi 9 RECENT ACQUISITIONS The Museum was recently gifted two very significant artifacts by Anna Trojan and her late husband Dr. Oleh Alexander Trojan. One is a rushnyk, a ritual cloth, woven in 1968 by awarded artist of Ukraine from Kosiv in Karpaty, Western Ukraine, Hanna Vaylashchuk. Anna Vasylashchuk created her own system of patterns to illustrate Taras Shevchenko’s major poems in KOBZAR. This rushnyk illustrates with eleven colourful stripes the words of the poem ‘Äî Îñíîâ’ÿíåíêà’. The second and tenth stripes represent the bandura referenced in the poem. A copy of KOBZAR , published in Kyiv in 1971 with illustrated pictures of Vasylashchuk’s woven rushnyky was also donated by the Trojans. The rushnyk that was donated to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada is found on page 224. The Museum Library was the recipient of a recently published book; Ïèñàíêó Ïîäiëëÿ (Podillian Pysanky) donated by Museum member Leonard Krawchuk and the author Maryna Verkhova. One of the finest books and resources to come out on the art of writing pysanky, it is a welcome addition to the museum’s library. Rushnyk and Kobzar Podillian family We welcome the donation of artifacts, artwork and archival photographs and documents. Please contact the Museum for more information. 10 Museum News FEATURED ARTIFACT The Museum’s artifact collection is extremely diverse. Many items feature elaborate designs, vibrant colors and unique patterns. However, there are also a few artifacts that tell an amazing story of a person, family or even the whole generation. One of such artifacts was acquired by the museum in 1949. It is half of a plakhta, a wrap skirt worn by women of Central, Eastern and Southern Ukraine. The story of this plakhta begins in 1902 when its original owner, Varvara Kozachyk, asked her relatives to find one for her in the town of Krolevets (now Sumy region, Ukraine). They bought it directly from the maker, and it cost Varvara three silver rubles. Although this was the time when many young girls were opting for factory-made skirts, Varvara preferred the traditional clothing and would often wear it as a part of her national costume. After she got married, this plakha was reused as a wall hanging, evidence of which is still present in a form of loops attached to one side of it. Nothing is known about the life of Mrs. Kozachyk during the next two decades, but at the end of the WWII she was in Germany. Having survived bombing of Berlin she lost most of her possessions in a fire. One of the few items remaining was the plakhta. Mrs. Kozachyk didn’t consider it valuable enough to be stored with the rest of her praised clothing items and made a sack from it to carry her belongings. In May 1945, she was one of three million Ukrainians displaced by the war living in Displaced Persons Camps. At the same time the Ukrainian Canadian Relief Fund was created in Winnipeg to aid refugees in Europe. The Ukrainian Women’s Association was one of the major contributors to the Fund. The organization collected monetary donations, sent books and newspapers and answered numerous letters. One of the biggest contributions of the organization was the purchasing of more than one hundred CARE packages, which contained the most essential food items such as margarine, sugar, bacon and coffee, and distributing them among those Ukrainians in dire need. One of the recipients was Varvara Kozachyk, and she expressed her gratitude by sending her only plakhta that survived the war to the U.W.A.C. This is how the remnant of plakhta was acquired by the museum. We don’t know if Mrs. Kozachyk stayed in Europe, emigrated or like many others was sent back to the Soviet Union, but her precious gift remains at the museum as an evidence of the time of great turmoil, human empathy and unbreakable spirit.

An exploration of colour and interaction with texture and form is central to Tkachenko’s work. Batik, one of the artist’s favourite techniques, a method of painting and applying hot wax and dyes, interprets this interaction well. This wax resist technique is very similar to the Ukrainian method of writing a Pysanka, the beloved Ukrainian Easter Egg. Olha has dedicated this exhibition to her Ukrainian homeland and honours the country’s rich culture and aesthetic traditions in addition to all of its beauty and pain. It is an exhibition and an exploration of reaching our real and eternal home, a pursuit that lives in every heart. The viewer is encouraged to explore this eternal quest with the artist and to meditate on their own journey of discovery. Sleeping Beauty Priests of Maidan Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Olha Tkachenko as a full-time employee with the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. Olha joined our staff in June 2015 in the position of Curatorial and Programming Assistant. Born in Ukraine, Olha grew up in a family of artists where she studied drawing and painting at home. She also received a formal education in Fine Art and Christian theology. Now living in Saskatoon with her family, Olha passionately continues to create with various media as an artist and book illustrator, also sharing her talents by teaching young children in her art studio. 12 Museum News NEXT IN THE FEATURE GALLERY: VERNISAGE Due to popular demand, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada will feature an exhibition of paintings, woodcuts and other artwork that have not previously been shown in the Museum’s gallery. These will be items that were not shown during the Treasures from the Collection exhibition of 2014. By definition a “vernisage” is a private showing or preview of an art show or exhibition not usually shown to the public. Promising to be an interesting exhibition with treasures not often seen, make sure to visit the museum this summer from August 9 to September 10, 2016 to see this unique show. Embroidered sleeve detail Rupchan pottery in the Museum’s vault Garden, by Dmytro Stryjek SAVE THE DATE On Friday, September 23, 2016, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada Main gallery will transform into a bistro as we host a Midnight in Lviv.

The first window shows A Boorday – The First House followed by The Second House, Blessing the Easter Paska, Women Feeding the Threshing Gang and Ukrainian Canadian Farm Picnic. This series of windows, which are illuminated after dark depicts in the form of visual masterpieces, the important steps Ukrainian people went through in establishing a life in Canada. From the establishment of a temporary shelter and clearing the land, to the building of a permanent home and planting a garden, to the building of churches and a place to worship, to the celebration and coming together of community at a picnic to the importance of agriculture and the changing of the seasons and harvest rituals, Kurelek’s work shows the importance of faith, family and work in the lives of Ukrainian Canadians. This project has brought artwork to the general public, museum visitors and all those walking, driving or biking down Spadina Crescent past the Museum on a highly visible and well traveled route. The Ukrainian Museum of Canada gratefully acknowledges the SUS Foundation of Canada for its financial support and encouragement of the William Kurelek Window Project and for its support of the enhancements to the William Kurelek Special Gallery and the second edition of the Gallery Guide. Ukrainian Canadian Farm Picnic A Boorday - The First House The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is saddened to announce that +Vera Nokony, a past president, mentor, and honourary life member of the Museum passed away on April 13, 2016. Vera wrote the text for the original Kurelek Gallery Guide which was reprinted in 2014, with the addition of Ukrainian translation and the addition of three of William Kurelek’s sketches. She said at that time that this guide was her legacy to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada. Memory Eternal! Âi÷íàÿ Ïàì’ÿòü! 14 NEW BROCHURE AVAILABLE The Museum has published a new brochure for distribution to individuals, organizations, galleries, institutions and tourism agencies. If you would like a copy or copies, please let us know! We would be happy to send it to you. Museum News BEHIND THE SCENES The Ukrainian Museum of Canada presents a diverse, vibrant, and constantly evolving presence in the Canadian, Ukrainian and global heritage, arts and cultural scene.
