The Atelier Karas Gallery (the Gallery, for short) was opened in 1995. However, according to its director Yevgeny Karas, the idea of a gallery was conceived by his family, a family of artists, as early as in 1986. It was then when rooms were found for the future gallery.

The Union of Artists provided Yevgeny's parents with an entire building floor for a studio: the total area was around 200 square metres (7,500 square feet). "We wanted to create a kind of a space for developing interesting, creative ideas. To create a cultural environment for communication of like-minded people, a platform for a beautiful life," remembers Mr. Karas.

However, the creation of this "space" started from serious renovations. The point is that the Karas family of artists was unfortunate to get one of the oldest and neglected houses of the mid-19th century in Andreyevsky Descent: smashed windows, sagged ceiling, cracked walls, and moulding disfigured by time and paint. The building required not just repairs, but a restoration. However, even after the rooms had acquired the appropriate appearance, some time passed before they became "a space for developing ... creative ideas".

Up to 1995, knowledge in the area of contemporary art was being acquired. The future gallery director sought to understand what was going on in the visual art of Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and America. Besides that, it was necessary to thoroughly study the "Ukrainian situation": art movements, infrastructure, communities, names, and ratings. It was decided to exhibit works of Ukrainian artists only. A database was being created: information on artists, photographs of their works, and texts on the theory and history of art were being collected. Later, a list of the most interesting and serious artists was compiled. And since 1995, these artists have been frequently invited to take part in exhibition programmes, which had been already developed by that time.

The Gallery has created one of the best systematic collections of Ukrainian contemporary art, which is regularly presented on prestigious art forums: over 100 works by over 60 Ukrainian artists including such famous ones as Oleg Tistol, O. Zhyvotkov, O. Dubovik, Marina Skugareva, Tibery Silvashi, O. Babak, Vasily Zhelay, Aleksandr Reutburd, P. Makov, D. Kavsan, V. Tsyupko, Anatoly Krivolap, G. Grigoryeva, Matvey Vaisberg, Pyotr Lebedinets, Pyotr Bevza, Oleksandr Sukholit, Vladimir Bovkun, Vasily Tsagolov, Igor Podolchak, Vladislav Shereshevsky, Igor Yanovich, Sergey Barich, Mark Geyko, Vlada Ralko, M. Krivenko, Yury Solomko, and many others.
