ART AID UKRAINE LAUNCH EVENT

Really happy to say that the event launch for Art Aid Ukraine was a success!

The preparations went down to the wire but that was always going to be the way. We gave ourselves one month to find over 100 incredible works of art and to present them in a major venue to auction and exhibit in a one-day event. Also three live acts and two major acts livestreaming from Kyiv and L A on a big screen and not forgetting food and drink. The logistics were challenging and it is only through the goodwill and hard work of everyone involved that we were able to pull it off. As I’ve always said, this project belongs as much to the Artists, the Volunteers and the sponsors who have driven it with creativity and goodwill.

We had 450+ people come. It was a day of heart, smiles and solidarity. The music was great, a brilliant set from Ukrainian legends Vopli Vidopliassova playing live for us on a big screen, The Bloom Twins were wonderful and then we enjoyed the beautiful vocal talents of Alloise and opera singer Oksana Sliubyk. The main event however was the Auction. The man in the Red Coat James Hasler worked with the audience with humour and energy.

Just remains to say a massive thank you for being on this mission with us. We’ll keep on doing what we can.
