Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund: two months report

To deal with the consequences of the Russian invasion and threats the war poses on the Ukrainian art community — Mystetskyi Arsenal, (MOCA) Museum of Contemporary Art NGO, Zaborona, and The Naked Room established the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund.

WE DO:

• provide support for independent artists, curators, arts managers, researchers, art writers and cultural NGOs in Ukraine;
• facilitate, support and administer donations offered by international artistic and charity organizations;
• promote contemporary Ukrainian culture as a powerful instrument for strengthening Ukraine’s position among democratic nations of the world.

In two months, almost 3 million hryvnias were collected, of which 65% is institutional support, 33% — external individuals and 2% — among the companies whose business is not related to art.

The Fund also started a collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Thanks to the generous donation of 50’000 USD from our partner we’re now able to establish a stipendiary program for Ukrainian artists and cultural workers. We’ll be back soon with the details of the program and first names of our stipendiaries.
