Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of time is a key link in the design of an ethnic artistic tradition. Meanwhile, this phenomenon has been studied insufficiently by ethnologists and art critics. The scientific novelty of the work is the author`s vision of nature and the role of the phenomenon of time by analyzing such manifestations as time-beginning, time of active practices, time-context of ethno-artistic tradition. The tradition of Ukrainian folk clothes beaded decor is the core of the research. The author compares her main conclusions with the realities of other ethnic folk artistic traditions, such as painted Easter eggs, glass painting, cutouts (ornament, cut out on paper). The author demonstrates that all processes occurring in the system of ethnic tradition are directly related to the passionarity of the ethnos. It is precisely the high level of passionarity that provides a high level of tradition passion-creative potential and promotes the emergence of such phenomena as time-beginning and time of active practices. The qualitative features of the ethno-artistic tradition time-context depend on the level of passion-creative potential. The author sees the perspective in studying other phenomena, which are also important for the construction of a paradigm of ethno-artistic tradition, in particular: the hearth of art, the master (as the main bearer of the tradition) and the artwork.
