On 22 March 2012 the YermilovCentre opened in Kharkiv. Today we are 10 years old! During this time we have created a significant and powerful institution. Hundreds of talented people, experts in their fields, have contributed to the work of the YermilovCentre. 

Congratulations to all of you and thank you to everyone who worked with us during this decade:

- The artists who have participated in our exhibition projects; 

- Project curators and art managers; 

- Designers who have created the identity of the exhibitions and events; 

- Our partners in Ukraine and abroad, with whom we have organised not only exhibitions but also international art residencies; 

- Volunteers and friends of the Centre who have been with us all this time. 

Thanks to you the Centre lives and develops, has a rich history and plans for the future. Thank you all! 

I would like to express my special gratitude to: 

- Vil Bakirov, because it is thanks to his comprehensive support that the Centre for Contemporary Art at V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University was established in 2012. 

- Tetiana Kahanovska, the Rector of Karazin University, for her help and support of the Centre's projects. 

- Designers Ihor Ostapenko, Inna Pedan and Andrii Khvorostianynov for the fantastic space that the Yermilov Centre has; 

- Tatiana Borzunova and Sergey Mishakin for the Yermilov Centre's identity; 

- Iryna Olenina for the graphic design of many projects and for the identity of the ART KUZEMYN Summer Residency. 

Thank you to everyone who has been with us for 10 years! Thank you to our visitors, because our work is for you! We have many plans for the future and we will definitely implement all the projects that have been postponed! We have a lot of work to do after the victory! 

Glory to Ukraine!
