In July 2022, the Mykola Babak Foundation launched the “Artification” Project, the main purpose of which was to hold charitable artistic events to draw attention to wounded soldiers undergoing inpatient treatment in Cherkasy medical institutions. During this time, 8 excursions and 3 master classes for children were held. The Foundation is deeply grateful to its partner, the Cherkasy Art Museum, in the person of its director, Ms. Olga Gladun, for the opportunity to implement the project in the exhibition spaces of the museum.

The Foundation is deeply grateful to the speakers who took part in the project, including Igor Yefimov, Olena Pochtaryova, Anastasia Pavlyuchenko, Iryna Kulyk and Yevgenia Morgun. We thank the NGO Our Battalion in the person of Olga Rachynska, thanks to whom master classes for children were held. In total, more than 100 people took part in the events, including both Cherkasy and internally displaced persons.

The Foundation is grateful to its partners of the chain of cafes “Bread and Coffee” and Winetime, which became an integral gastronomic decoration of each event. The Foundation thanks the Cherkasy jewelry and gift shop “Rubin” for participating in the event dedicated to Ukrainian jewelry. The Foundation thanks the printing company “DSM Service” and its director Serhiy Dyachenko for printing the first edition of postcards by H.P. Shevchenko of the late 19th and early 20th c.! Thank you Cherkasy Suspilne for the invitation to your studio and the opportunity to talk about the project!

The campaigns made it possible to purchase necessary items for 50 wounded soldiers, including: basic necessities, hygiene products, crutches, etc. Thanks to the Foundation’s partner GG Barbershop, the military was provided with free haircuts.
And the original result of the first stage of the project was the congratulation of the military in 15 hospital wards with the Independence Day of Ukraine, which was made possible thanks to your donations, friends.
Together – we will win! 🇺🇦
