MARCH 2024
In 2024, we will unite to honor the resilience of the Ukrainian people amidst the ongoing invasion of their country. Hosted at the prestigious Villa Grisebach auction house, this event aims to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine and spotlight Ukrainian contemporary culture, an integral part of European and global heritage.
Aligned with the central theme of “Resilience”, the event will channel all proceeds towards supporting two Ukrainian NGOs that have been making significant strides in enhancing individuals' resilience and adaptive capacities.
Impact Force: is dedicated to empowering women economically in Ukraine through targeted initiatives. Their online academy equips women with essential skills, tools, mentorship, and financial grants necessary to initiate and expand their businesses. This support enables women to maintain financial stability and contribute to the well-being of their families and communities effectively.
UNBROKEN: provides comprehensive medical care and rehabilitation for amputees. Its National Rehabilitation Centre in Lviv provides emergency care, reconstructive surgery, orthopedics and state-of-the-art robotic prosthetics, facilitating the successful reintegration of injured Ukrainians into society.
This year's event will feature a charity auction with works from leading Ukrainian artists, as well as emerging talent, showcasing drawings, paintings, and sculptures created amidst Ukraine's socio-political transformation and ongoing conflict.
The lineup of distinguished Ukrainian artists includes: Apl315, Yevgenia Belorusets, Volo Bevza, Maryna Baranovska, Sofia Holubeva, Marta Dyachenko, Yuriy Koval, Vitaly Kravec, Yaroslav Kusch, Tetyana Malinovska, Roman Mykhailov, Victoria Pidust, Vitalii Protosenia, Vasyl Savchenko, Yuriy Sivirin, Vitalii Shupliak , Artem Volokitin, Valeriya Trubina, and Oleksii Zolotar.
Additionally, a fashion showcase will include designs from renowned Ukrainian fashion designers such as Alexandru Goos, PLNGNS, Jean Gritsfeldt, Dobrova, Sheezen, and Litkovska.
