VITA SOLZBERG, Project Director
Vita Solzberg is an art activist, promoter, and artist, who creates her signature art form called Fractus. Her academic journey culminated in a degree in the History and Theory of Fine Arts in 1992 in Belarus—a nation then still tied to Soviet Union legacie. She resisted the pressure to critique artists for ideological purposes when independent galleries supporting artists were not yet established. Instead, she focused on independent journalism, which flourished during Glasnost and Perestroika. Vita excelled in TV news reportage, documentaries, feature films, and unscripted reality before returning to her lifelong dream of running her own art gallery and promoting creativity. Vitart.Gallery came to fruition after Vita Solzberg settled in Los Angeles in 2019.
