Ecclesiastical Art & Design, Ltd

Ecclesiastical Art & Design Ltd, formerly known as Makarenko Studios Inc, evolved in Philadelphia, PA in the late 1950s. Conceptualized by Boris Makarenko, who immigrated to America from Ukraine after World War II, Ecclesiastical Art & Design became a true multi-generational family endeavor. Officially co-founded in 1976 by Boris and his son Sviatoslav Makarenko, canons and traditions of ecclesiastical art have been handed down and instilled from generation to generation since the inception of the studio. Sviatoslav taught and trained his four children in ecclesiastical art, eventually passing along the business to his daughter Ruslana. Ecclesiastical Art & Design, Ltd. is dedicated to providing original solutions specific to each sacred space in a way that preserves its heritage, beauty, and sacred tradition. Our work is currently showcased in over 150 Cathedrals, churches, chapels and sacred spaces throughout the United States, Canada and Australia.
