A Ukrainian couple Eugenia and Samson Brodskiy were away from their home country when the war began in February and have been unable to return. They have been collecting works by Ukrainian artists to help them through these horrific times and find hope. “We have been so fortunate to find kindness and support in San Diego for our family and because of this we want to share our feelings and show powerful images of the war through the eyes of modern Ukrainian artists.”
The art exhibit,“ Ukrainian Voice. Your choice!,“ which also features video and audio installations, will be held at the Bread & Salt gallery in Logan Heights. It will show the war from the beginning of the invasion to the present day, tell stories of bravery, sadness, desolation and hope captured in real time as the conflict rages on. The show is free to the public. All proceeds from purchases of art work and donations will be sent directly to Ukrainian families in need. The exhibit opens on June 14, hours 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will run through June 17, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
We are working with a local San Diego non-profit organization, MH Community Preservation a 501 (c)(3) EIN#82-3030713. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
“Unfortunately, every day brings a lot of losses, a lot of pain and we realized that we can not stand on the sidelines. Our mission now is to be a bridge between people who can help and people who need the help. We ask San Diegans to support our initiative, visit the exhibition and buy an art print or donate money to the fund. Proceeds from the art exhibition will be donated to a local volunteer organization in Ukraine to assist the affected families, children, orphans, and the wounded in Ukraine.”
