And we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without amazing volunteers that give their time and expertise to make Art of Ukraine events possible. If you feel called to support traditional Ukrainian art in any way – please reach out to us! We would love to discuss how we can collaborate and create something special together. Say hi!
