Association of Independent Ukrainian Artists

The Association of Independent Ukrainian Artists (Ukrainian: Асоціація незалежних українських митців), also known as AIUA, was an artistic organization that functioned in Lviv in 1931–1939. It was founded in 1931 by a group of Ukrainian painters: Sviatoslav Hordynskyi, Pavlo Kovzhun, Yaroslava Muzyka, and others. The association's activities were based on the principles formulated by the members of the AIUA's predecessor, the Circle of Ukrainian Art Workers (CUAW), which existed in Lviv in 1922–1926. In the short time of its existence, the association achieved tangible results in presenting Ukrainian culture and its best representatives to the world.
