About the Organization

Artists4Ukraine started in the first days after the Invasion of Ukraine. Swedish born Artist Julia Mai Linnéa Maria asked If it could be possible to start an art auction to raise funds for Ukraine and American born Icelandic-Ukrainian Artist Alexander Zaklynsky jumped to the chance to help. In the days since we organized Artists4Ukraine which is an artist run fundraising initiative. As artists we watched the nightmare developing and felt helpless. What could we do to help as artists with no money or capacity in a far off land to make any difference directly. We decided the best thing in the short run was to raise money for charities through art and engaging the public, showing solidarity and initiative to shed light on the ways people could help. Developing a platform for like minded artists to donate work for sales direct to charities was the original plan. This evolved into a collaboration with Bio Paradis to screen Ukrainian films where ticket sales go to charities directly involved in the war in Ukraine. We are developing a program of Ukrainian film and Art Auctions for Ukraine. We Stand strong with Ukraine.  Slava Ukraini

Poem By Taras Shevchenko

When I die, 

let me rest, let me lie 

amidst Ukraine’s broad steppes. 

Let me see 

the endless fields and steep slopes 

I hold so dear. 

Let me hear the Dnipro’s great roar. 

And when the blood

of Ukraine’s foes flows 

into the blue waters of the sea, 

that’s when I’ll forget 

the fields and hills 

and leave it all 

and pray to God. 

Until then, I know no God. 

So bury me, rise up, 

and break your chains. 

Water your freedom 

with the blood of oppressors. 

And then remember me 

with gentle whispers 

and kind words 

in the great family 

of the newly free.


Taras Shevchenko


Як умру, то поховайте 

Мене на могилі, 

Серед степу широкого, 

На Вкраїні милій, 

Щоб лани широкополі, 

І Дніпро, і кручі 

Було видно, було чути, 

Як реве ревучий. 

Як понесе з України 

У синєє море Кров ворожу... отоді я 

І лани, і гори — 

Все покину і полину 

До самого Бога 

Молитися... а до того 

Я не знаю Бога. 

Поховайте та вставайте, 

Кайдани порвіте 

І вражою злою кров'ю 

Волю окропіте. 

І мене в сiм'ї великій, 

В сiм'ї вольній, новій, 

Не забудьте пом'янути 

Незлим тихим словом.
