Short history: 

The idea to organize of the large-scale and highly professional festivals originated in 2013 and was based on 12 years of experience in training the groups of sports and ballroom dancing and holding classes in children's circles. By helping the leaders of groups to organize trips in Ukraine and abroad, I have studied the work of international festivals "from inside". I have realized the importance of launching the multidisciplinary artistic events. Then I was joined by Nataliya Kopiy, the member of the Horeographers Union of Ukraine, who helped me with organization, planning, strategy development, gathering the information, and became the Chairman of Festivals. In August 2014 we have founded the NGO "Art Center "ANTRE". After careful preparation and planning, we have gathered a small team of volunteers and  held in October 2014 the I All-Ukrainian festival of vocal and dance groups with gala concert at the M.Zankovetska National Drama Theatre.  The festival was attended by over 1,000 participants. Currently Art Center is working on organizing the event, which has no analogues in Ukraine - International Internet Festival (February-April 2017). As part of our festival activity, we perform charity concerts for the combatants in the area ATO in clinical hospitals and military units Lviv. Also, the regular visitors of our festivals are the children with special needs from the Public Organization "Sonechko".

The most important projects: 

In 2015 Vikroria Mykhaylova was awarded by the Association of Variety Art Workers with the title "Honored Worker of Variety Art". 

In 2016 Vikroria Mykhaylova was awarded by the Departament of Culture of the Lviv City Council with the Gratitude Certificate for the popularization of national culture and art.
