Described as “very bright” and “charismatic,” the exhibition has drawn great public attention and caused quite a stir among well-known U.S. figures. The organizers expect to raise substantial revenue, 50 percent of which will go support Ukrainian refugees and renovate buildings in the city of Bucha – the location of a brutal and unprovoked massacre by Russia’s invading forces earlier this year.

As Ukraine is in the global spotlight and its arts are in great demand, this exhibition is a great opportunity to promote modern Ukrainian culture and draw international attention to restoration efforts in the country, despite the ongoing war.

Will love prevail?
