Art From Today's Ukraine. DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nAfter an initial exhibit at the First Parish in Bedfo rd (MA) the exhibition “Affirmation of Life. Art from Today’s Ukraine ” is scheduled for The Loading Dock Gallery’s showcase. \;\nThe sh ow is being organized by Loading Dock Arts\, Inc (501(c)(3) nonprofit and the Ukrainian Cultural Initiative (501(c)(3) nonprofit) with support from Enterprise Bank and individual donations. This is the second exhibition fr om the series started in the Gallery at First in Bedford in September 2023 . The Loading Dock Gallery sees a world in which art is valued for its own sake\, as well as for its contribution to society\, and in which the grea ter good is served and enriched through the arts and arts education. So\, we are happy to multiply the beauty of the world together. \;\n \;  \; \; \;We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Suz anne Hodge and Nan Hockenbury from the Loading Dock Gallery for reaching o ut to us to organize the exhibition. \;\n \; \; \; \;W hen planning our exhibition\, we envisioned creating a collection for Amer ican viewers who have actively supported Ukraine since the beginning of th e full-scale invasion. We aimed to gather in one space such works of art t hat could harmoniously fit into every interior or become its special empha sis. We call it "a reflection of the Ukrainian style". It will be experien ced and recognized by the exhibition guests\, who will get acquainted with the work of Ukrainian artists. Ukrainian visitors will find themselves in the atmosphere of a familiar world and the native beauty of their country . Moreover\, our challenge was to cover as many artistic trends as possibl e and to present them with gratefulness to the United States of America.&n bsp\;\n \; \; \; \;The proceeds from the sale of artworks and donations will be directed to the artists living and working in Ukrain e\; to the support of children's art schools\; and to art therapy for vete rans.\nMore information: https://ukrainian-cultural-initiative.com/\n\n\n\ n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://uccn.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/love -jpeg.webp CATEGORIES:Exhibition LOCATION:The Loading Dock Gallery\, 122 Western Avenue\, Lowell\, Massachus etts\, 01851\, United States GEO:42.639843;-71.319297 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=122 Western Avenue\, Lowell \, Massachusetts\, 01851\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Lo ading Dock Gallery:geo:42.639843,-71.319297 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20231105T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
