STUDIO 201
A cooperative artist's studio in Peterborough Ontario at 201 McDonnel Street, Room #17
Sunflower Festival
for Ukrainian Relief
Saturday August 20, 2022
9 am – 3 pm
Peterborough Square
STUDIO 201 is organizing this event, but it is not ours. We are soliciting donations of artwork from the artists across the south central Ontario region for a fundraiser on behalf of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine to be held on Saturday August 20, 2022 All proceeds will go to GlobalGiving Crisis Relief Fund.
A call to the artistic community!
The theme of this event is the SUNFLOWER — the national symbol of Ukraine and a powerful representation of the endurance, the optimism and the hope of the Ukrainian People.
​
We are looking to artists from the multiple disciplines that their creativity embraces — visual arts, artisan, craft, musical, and performance art — to offer gifts from their hands and minds to contribute to the relief efforts. The artistic work donated may take any form. Artists might wish to consider the sunflower, Ukrainian national colours of yellow and blue, or representations of loss, hope, community, compassion, memory, promise, gratitude or joy. There is no optimum size (aside from the fact that the venue is indoors), medium, or value.
​
The event will take place on a market day on the lower level of Peterborough Square (340 George Street). The "show" will be set up in the atrium near the George/Simcoe St entry.
​
Performers interested in showcasing their talents against the background of a sale of work by local artists and donating the proceeds, should contact Cathy Rowland (catrow@trytel.com) with a description of their act and their contact information (telephone and email).
