UNBREAKABLE UKRAINE

1/21/2023

 
An Auction and Fundraiser to Support Glass Art in Ukraine
Ending Midnight, January 21, 2023
JRACraft promotes a fundraising campaign to support the hot shop at the Glass Museum in Lviv, shared by the Lviv National Academy of Arts. This fundraiser is part of an effort led by JRACraft member and glass collector Jeff Hillam, who visited Lviv, Ukraine's glass capital, in September 2022. 

​DONATE BELOW!

"Though Lviv was safe at the time of our visit, the signs of wartime preparation were everywhere. Blockade equipment littered the roadways, ready to be used at a moment's notice. We encountered military checkpoints and public displays of national solidarity along the way. Old churches had metal sheets installed over their stained glass windows to ensure that bombings would not shatter their beauty. Statues were covered and shielded with canvas and rope, to protect the city's cultural heritage. But what stood out brightly in contrast to the darkness of these visuals, was the steadfast Ukrainian determination to maintain normalcy, optimism and hope." - Jeff Hillam, Winter 2023 Craft Quarterly.

As a part of Hillam's effort an auction of contemporary Ukrainian glasswork will also be hosted by Rago auctions on January 20, 2023. www.ragoarts.com/unbreakable-ukraine

"As the war in Ukraine continues, the James Renwick Alliance for Craft (JRACraft) expands our mission to support an extraordinary cause brought to us by Jeff Hillam," says our Executive Director Jaimianne Jacobin. "This is a unique opportunity to support our universal passion for Craft in an unprecedented time."

Proceeds from this fund will go directly to the institutions and help support the hot shop to offset wartime inflation, art market disruptions and utility increases caused by the Russian effects on gas prices.
