Next year it will be the 30 year's anniversary, as the first “Scythia” Biennial took place in 1996. We are grateful to all artists who have participated in the events for the last 30 years, for making these exhibitions incredible and in general possible!

We invite artists to join the very special 16th edition of “Scythia” Biennial, to share their art and celebrate with us 30 years of dedicated and hard work to promote textile and fiber art.

There is no theme for the exhibition.

There were never given any themes for any of the “Scythia” events, as we believe that artists are people who like freedom and their imagination is developed by different social, natural, historical, cultural and other aspects.

It is always interesting to see what excites, interests and provokes artists to create a new work.

The organizers from their side try to create a story of what is important to the people nowadays via the exhibition, so the visitors can read it from the artworks.

We will host an exhibition, conference, fashion show, and master-class during the dates of June 3-17, 2026, in Ivano-Frankivs'k, Ukraine.
