PinchukArtCentre is a private contemporary art institution in central Kyiv, opened in 2006 and established by the Pinchuk Foundation. It focuses on temporary exhibitions by Ukrainian and international contemporary artists and on public engagement with contemporary art.

Programmes typically include rotating exhibitions across multiple gallery spaces, artist projects, talks and education activities aimed at broad audiences. The centre stages large-scale temporary shows rather than maintaining a permanent historical collection.

The centre was created by the Pinchuk Foundation to provide a platform for contemporary art in Ukraine and to support cultural programming and education. Since opening it has presented a wide range of curated exhibitions and public events.

The institution is located in central Kyiv and is accessible from the city’s main transport routes and cultural districts.

• Founding: Founded and sponsored by a private philanthropic foundation and opened in 2006, it is one of Kyiv’s principal contemporary art venues.
