The Stand with Ukraine art show will take place on April 1-2, 2022 in One Art Space Gallery on 23 Warren Street in New York. The art show aims to create an artistic platform for artists and viewers to learn more about the pain and struggle that citizens in Ukraine are dealing with. This original art show in support for Ukraine will be hosted by NYC Art Movement and curated by David De Hannay, a human rights activist and founder of NYC Art Movement.
NYC Art Movement is a community of artists that is motivated by democratic creative freedom. Inspired by the vibrancy and multiculturalism of New York, the artists associated with NYC Art Movement desire to provide political commentary on the modern human condition at home and abroad. New York City is the home of the largest Ukrainian community in the United States, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has mobilized the community to come together to fight for the sovereignty of the peaceful nation. NYC Art Movement is hosting an art show to highlight artists within the collective who have connections to Ukraine and want to not only denounce the unjustified war but also to highlight Ukrainian culture. There are also Ukrainian artists participating in the show.
We are in the midst of a humanitarian crisis with the number of deaths rapidly rising in Ukraine. This war is only one of the many examples of human abuse and depopulation in the world. The art that will be presented by the NYC Art Movement was made to promote action and support from New Yorkers to help start a movement for real peace. Together we can motivate people to stand up against war and for humanity. The presented artwork will highlight the current human rights tragedy.
The proceeds collected during the art show will be donated to the International Rescue Committee, which is supporting Ukrainian refugees with food, medical care and emergency services.
According to David De Hannay, the Stand with Ukraine art show will be the first of many art shows of its kind beginning in New York City and eventually migrating across the World.
Our message is simple – Make Art, not War.
