"Auto Artists for Ukraine" Selling Works with 100% Proceeds to Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal
An automotive artist-led initiative has been created as a charitable response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
Their aim is to sell artworks from many automotive artists, via social media, where 100% of the sale is donated to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
The group has been heartened by how many artist, photographer/ illustrator peers have pledged to help out so far. Over 25 artists have agreed to donate artworks,ranging from very affordable prints to larger priced items, some being auctioned. More than $10,000 was raised in the first week.
"Having seen the escalating horror in Ukraine, we realize our initiative might only make a small contribution in the grand scheme of things, but we wanted to raise funds, and join others in uniting a love of all things automotive and to help Ukrainians fleeing the conflict.
The Red Cross was chosen because of its trusted existing protocols in many countries around the world and the fact they are already working in Ukraine.
Here is how the donation process works:
- 1) On social media, artists post their chosen artwork/ print/ sculpture which they are donating 100%.
- 2) Buyer pays the artist directly.
- 3) Artist donates 100% to the Ukraine Appeal via their national Red Cross website. Artists send a quick screen-shot of their donation receipt, which will allow organizers to keep a tally of the total amount raised.
