Auction information
Bidding & Delivery/Shipment of Art
ALL BIDDING will be conducted through your mobile device.
All winning bids MUST be paid with credit card.
All credit card purchases will be charged the standard 3.63% CC fee.
ALL BIDS will begin at $35 USD and increase in $10 increments.
DELIVERY/SHIPPING OF ART - If you win an artwork, you will be charged the cost of your bid at checkout. If you live in the Western New York and do not attend the in-person auction at DNIPRO Ukrainian Cultural Center, we will try to deliver the art to your home instead of shipping within a few days after the auction closing. We will send a confirmation via email. All other art will need to be shipped. Your art will ship out the following week. Shipping will be a separate charge on your credit card and processed as a second transaction.
Inspiration & Support for Ukraine
Inspiration & Support for Ukraine
To date, we have over 85 participating artists who have committed to creating and donating an artwork to our auction and our line-up continues to grow! Artists have been invited to submit art of all genre/media/content/dimensions.
While the sunflower has long been Ukraine’s national flower, since the start of the war, it has become a symbol of solidarity, resilience, and resistance. SOS III Artists chose to stand in solidarity for truth, freedom, and democracy!
100% of the proceeds will be donated to The Humanitarian and Self Defense Funds of the Ukrainian American Freedom Foundation (UAFF). Funds raised will go towards general humanitarian and tactical aid. Closer to the date of the auction, we will have more detailed information about procurements.
At our first Sunflowers of Solidarity Benefit Art Auction, over 90 artists donated over 100 artworks to raise $36,000 towards the manufacturing of Individual First Aid Kits which cost $100 each. The contents of this IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) are the difference between life and death for our Ukrainian soldiers fighting to protect their country, families and freedom. We were able to support the manufacturing of 360 of these kits. SOS II Benefit Online Auction raised $9,000 towards the procurement of generators, portable stoves, tourniquets, volunteer transport vehicles, and Motorola radios.
Please help us keep our Ukrainians alive!
