The History of the Festival● Since 2018, the festival has been held annually in Kyiv, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and wartime.
● With the onset of the full-scale invasion, culture gained strategic importance. This is why the extension of the festival's overseas geography became an integral part of our mission.
● Thus, in 2022, the festival took place in Oxford (United Kingdom) as a sign of our gratitude to the country that supported us from the very beginning in our fight for independence.
● In 2023, Bouquet Kyiv Stage was held in Tbilisi, Georgia, as a tribute to the warriors of Sakartvelo, who, from the first days of the great war, joined the ranks of defenders and gave their lives for the freedom of Ukraine.
● Later, the goal was set to establish a permanent presence in the United Kingdom, leading to the creation of the Kyiv Art Sessions festival (with summer, autumn (2024), and winter seasons (2025)).
