Properties of dwarf galaxies formed and evolved in the lowest density
environment remain largely unexplored and poorly understood. Especially this
concerns the low-mass end (M_bar < 10^9 Mo). We overview the results of
systematic study of a hundred void dwarfs from the nearby Lynx-Cancer void. We
describe the ongoing project aiming to form Nearby Void galaxy sample (R < 25
Mpc) over the whole sky. 1354 objects with distances less than 25 Mpc fall
within 25 voids delineated by 460 luminous galaxies/groups. The void major
sizes range from 13 to 37 Mpc. 1088 of 1354 void galaxies reside deeply in
voids, having distances to the nearest luminous neighbour of 2-11 Mpc. 195
nearest void galaxies reside in the Local Volume. We summarize the main
statistical properties of the new sample and outline the prospects of study of
both, the void dwarf properties and the fine structure of voids.
