Akishina, G. Verbitsky, M. Guyda, T. Danylych, E. Neuman and other Ukrainian artists of the XX-XXI centuries. The scientific novelty of the work is that the first time the wedding is considered as a form of ceremonial-ritual "entertainment" in the works of Ukrainian artists of the XX-XXI centuries, as a means of preserving the national Ukrainian cultural code and Ukrainian folk traditions. Conclusions. Wedding as a form of ceremonial-ritual "entertainment" in the works of Ukrainian artists of the XX-XXI centuries F. Krichevsky, A. Kulchytskaya, M. Primachenko, G. Akishina, I. Verbitsky, G. Galaganov, M. Guyda, I. Ilko, and others, occupied a special place, not only as a rite in the system of family rituals but as one of the elements of preserving the national cultural code, a means of transmitting and preserving Ukrainian folk traditions. The works made in the style of primitivism, realism, socialist realism reflect wedding ceremonies as a dynamic spectacle that carries a magical type of thinking, combining individual self-consciousness and the collective unconscious, preserving the folk traditions of Galicia, Carpathian, and Hutsulshchyna, acquired by numerous generations of Ukrainians. A wedding as a form of ceremonial-ritual "entertainment" acts not only as a plot theme in the visual arts of the XX-XXI centuries, but also art exhibitions, art projects dedicated to the wedding theme in the visual arts, themselves act as "entertainment" since they are accompanied by a corresponding performance that carries the historical meaning of the revival of Ukrainian national traditions. An example is the exhibition of N. Onatsk "Wedding in Poltava region", which was accompanied by an interactive presentation of a fragment of the wedding ritual with the participation of the folk ensemble of Ukrainian music "Roksolania".
