Bedford TV - Annual Award

With gratitude to our true friends and people who are supporting Ukraine, we are sharing this great news! 

The film report about the Ukrainian art exhibition "Affirmation of Life. Art from Today's Ukraine" in Bedford, MA, filmed by Bedford TV, received the award “Most Impactful Video of the Year 2024”! The award event took place on December 7, 2024. We are very grateful to the organizers of the exhibition, First Parish in Bedford, The Gallery @ First Parish, Bedford TV and to everyone who made the decision to express support for Ukraine.

Bedford TV is a charitable organization that support different initiatives, is known for becoming an oasis of joy for the students, a place where you can learn how to prepare for filming, make documentaries and even feature films.

A big Thank You to the great artists and real Friends at the Loading Dock Gallery, Lowell, MA! 

We are so thankful for the space you provide to showcase art from Ukraine. It means a lot to us that the artists living and working in Ukraine today have a place to display their work. It brings them and us great joy.

Flag Parade 2024, Lowell Folk Festival

By Anya Dubovyk:


Last Friday (on 26th July) I was incredibly honored to join my dear friends from Ukrainian Cultural Initiative representing Ukraine at Lowell Folk Festival Parade of Flags! 


 Lowell Folk Festival is one of the largest free folk festivals in the country that has been running for 37 years now! 

The flags from around the world fluttered in the breeze, the parade was moving through the downtown Lowell and culminated at the Boarding

House Park stage! 

It’s hard to describe how it feels to see people’s reaction on Ukrainian flags at the parade – their support, encouragement and warm wishes were incredible! So many people came to us to say they follow the news and they are with Ukraine!   Yay!

Thank you state Rep. Vanna Howard for introducing Ukraine and other participating countries at the stage!

Thank you Mayor Daniel P. Rourke  and vice mayor Paul Ratha Yem for organizing this amazing event!
