“ART THAT RESCUES”

On July 14, 2015 a charity auction “Art that rescues” took place in Mystetskyi Arsenal. It was organized by Oschadbank together with community organization “Volonterska Sotnia”, Mystetskyi Arsenal and Art Management agency. During the auction more than 2 million Hryvnias had been collected, which later were sent to help civilians in one of the most shelled cities in Ukraine — Maryinka, where at that time stayed 120 children and 20 seriously ill old people. At the charity auction were presented the unusual lots — ammunition boxes, transformed by fifteen famous Ukrainian artists — students of art schools and volunteers — into unique ornamented chests. Later some of the bought chests were gifted by the owners to Mystetskyi Arsenal.

Particularly the works of Mariia Kulykovska, Arsen Savadov, and Myroslava Doroshenko, a fourteen-year-old art school student.
