The article examines the state and activities of cultural institutions of territorial commu- nities, in particular in front-line territories. The issues of reformatting the work of cultural insti- tutions, the search for new online and offline formats that would meet the cultural needs of com- munities, minimal costs and martial law conditions are highlighted. It is determined that to ensure high-quality and full-fledged work of cultural institutions in the martial law conditions, it is ad- visable to use the potential of the virtual environment. During the war, it is worth creating virtual cultural spaces that could comprehensively satisfy cultural needs, improve the mental health of different age groups, and hold events in online and offline formats. The authors proposed a con- cept for a project to create a virtual cultural space in cultural institutions of territorial commu- nities and the stages of its implementation, using available technologies (PostgreSQL and MySQL databases; server programming languages: PHP, Ruby, Java, JavaScript (Node.js), 3D techno- logies). The concept is based on the analysis of the results of the sociological study "Cultural Prac- tices and Needs for Population Restoration in Deoccupied and Frontline Communities" which was carried out with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This project will be able to meet the cultural needs of communities in a short time and with mini- mal costs and will allow the use of modern technologies to provide online services, improve the information support of the activities of cultural institutions of territorial communities. In addition, in order to preserve and improve mental health, art therapy and media art therapy can be used within the framework of the project, which will positively affect the mental health of the Ukrai- nians. The project may be implemented in an online format, both for frontline territories and in a mixed format, for other regions of Ukraine which is relevant in the conditions of the martial law.
