(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Doha: An art exhibition featuring works by 10 prominent contemporary Ukrainian artists was unveiled online on Thursday serving as the inaugural show of 'Ukraine: New Era Art virtual museum which was recently launched by the Ukrainian Embassy in Qatar.

The newly launched arts and culture platform is a product of a joint cultural initiative of the Ukrainian Embassy in Qatar, Chernovil Art Studio and International Institute for Cultural Diplomacy.
The project was done in cooperation with Ukrainian artists Andriy and Nadiya Chernovil who are well-known in Qatar, said a statement from the embassy.
'The main goal of this project is to showcase properly modern Ukraine and masterpieces of the Ukrainian artists to the Qatari and eventually to the wider audience, said the embassy.
'Ukraine: New Era Art virtual museum is also devoted to the upcoming 30th anniversary of Ukrainian Independence next year.
'We expect that this new art platform will promote Ukraine and Ukrainian art in the State of Qatar and will contribute significantly to the development of cultural cooperation between our states, added the embassy.
This initiative also serves as a symbol of new possibilities of the Information Age which, like art, is capable to overcome distances and boundaries and support cultural exchanges between countries.
Art enthusiasts in Qatar can look forward to more diverse artworks from Ukraine as the virtual museum has announced it will be organising this year and next year a series of new exhibitions which will feature Ukrainian artists and showcase their works to a bigger audience.
