ART CAN HEAL
Dear friends, colleagues, and art enthusiasts.
War, terror, and genocide by Russia in Ukraine are a global challenge that is shaping the shared future of the entire world right now. We are defending our freedom, the sovereignty of our country, advocating for global peace, and fighting against Russian terror on Ukrainian soil, preventing its spread to the rest of the world.
We feel a global wave of solidarity from the international community and structurally rely on your help in this critical situation—for which we are endlessly grateful. Ukrainian artists and performance art practitioners who remain are helping in every possible way here in Ukraine through art, volunteer, cultural, and social initiatives, working with the most affected groups.
Collaborative creativity, mastering new means of self-expression, and sociocultural art projects that use elements of creative therapy are very effective in aiding the psycho-emotional recovery of our fellow citizens and helping to overcome the effects of war even now. It is specifically to raise funds to support such projects and programs that we have established the "Creative Recovery Fund in Ukraine."
SUPPORT DIRECTIONS we see:
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ARTISTS AND PROFESSIONALS
— targeted support for recovery practitioners (artists, art educators, psychologists, scientists, and researchers working at the intersection of creative therapy and the application of artistic practices to recovery).
GRANTS FOR ARTISTIC RECOVERY PROJECTS
— projects that assist target groups identified by the fund (e.g., students, volunteers, veterans, internally displaced persons, children).
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS
— support for knowledge exchange projects and the development of new practices.
RECOVERY FESTIVALS
— promotion of creative recovery practices.
