Events
The exhibition, dedicated to Ukrainian art, was held in Saint-Sauveur on June 17, 18 and 19. This event was organized by the ROD Gallery and the Organizing Committee in partnership with the Association of Ukrainians of the Laurentides Region and Le COFFRET (Orientation and Training Center for the Promotion of Traditional Ethnic Relations).
The exhibition brought together five artists of Ukrainian origin, three painters and two ceramic sculptors. In addition, there were a number of workshops, kiosks and concerts, where everyone had the opportunity to meet with members of the Ukrainian community in Quebec, and get acquainted with their culture at a time when all the attention of the planet is focused on Ukraine.
The main purpose of the event was to raise funds in connection with the current situation in Ukraine. All proceeds went to the COFFRET Ukraine 2022 funds to support activities to help Ukrainian citizens in the Lorantid region.
The purpose of the exhibition is to allow Ukrainian culture to sound even louder. And also to show the beauty of the culture that exists in Ukraine, and which is now being destroyed in Russia's war against Ukraine.
