The article analyses the life and creative journey of the artist of Polish origin Vladyslav Galimskiy (1860 – 1940), who lived and worked in Kyiv. The main milestones of the artist’s life are elucidated. The author specifies his involvement in the exhibition life of Kyiv. Particular attention is paid to the story behind Kyiv Association of Art Exhibitions and the role played by V. Galimskiy and other local artists. The history of holding five exhibitions by Kyiv Association of Art Exhibitions is described in detail, and the reasons for the Association’s decline are examined. The creative journey of the artist after the Association’s shutdown is considered. The research covers Galimskiy’s participation in charitable activities through the prism of his engagement in the organization of “living paintings” (small amateur performances) in favor of a free hospital and fundraising for a new Roman Catholic Church in Kyiv. A very valuable appendix is attached to the article: it is a complete novel list based on the art catalogs comprising more than 70 paintings by Galymsky presented at Kyiv exhibitions in the 1890s.
