Artists for Ukraine, 2022

Artists for Ukraine Feature Artist: Yuri Padal

Artists and communities in Vancouver standing in solidarity with the Ukranian people.

As many of you, we all here at Art Works & our artists have felt anger, horror, grief, helplessness & a range of other emotions, as we have watched the Russian invasion into the Ukraine. So, when we were approached by Yuri Padal, (born in Kyiv) one of Art Works Gallery artists, & a couple of friends of his (Mark & Julia Weintraub), to help them to raise much needed financial support for the Ukraine, I immediately agreed.  

Art Works Gallery artists all came on board. Rather than continue to feel helpless, we have diverted our energies into this fund raiser. 

Sunday April 3: 1pm - 5pm

Donations and partial proceeds from all artwork sales will go to: #HelpUkraineNow
