Motoring sector creates charity support for Ukraine’s humanitarian crisis:

Ukraine

Hello

We want to announce an automotive artist-led initiative to create a charitable response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

Our Aim is to sell artworks from many automotive artists, via social media.

100% of the sale is donated to the British Red Cross ‘Ukraine Crisis Appeal’.

Automotivated

‘AutoArtists For Ukraine’ is the collective group name. We’ve already been heartened at how many artist, photographer/ illustrator peers have pledged to help out so far. These include Tim Layzell, Helen Stanley & Ella Friere.

So far we’ve raised £3000 in the first two days. Over 25 artists have agreed to donate artworks, ranging from very affordable prints to larger priced items, some being auctioned. We want most works to be affordable at a set price for all to participate.

International car crash

We are doing this is as a direct reaction to the escalating horror in Ukraine. We realise our initiative might only make a small contribution in the grand scheme of things. However, we want our industry to participate, to raise funds and join others in uniting a love of all things automotive and to help Ukrainians fleeing the conflict.

Our chosen Charity is the Red Cross . They have trusted existing protocols in many countries around the world and are already working in Ukraine. This allows our contributing artists in Germany, France, Portugal to donate to their national Red Cross/ Red Crescent Charity easily, united by the same cause.

Fueling relief

How the easy sale and donation process works:

1)  On social media, artists post their chosen artwork/ print/ sculpture which they are donating 100%

2)  Buyer pays the artist directly

3) Artist donates 100% to the Ukraine Appeal via their national Red Cross website. Artists send us a quick screen-shot of their donation receipt, which will allow us to keep a tally of the total amount raised.

Thank you for reading this.

Best Regards,

Jonny Ambrose and Reverend Adam Gompertz
