Pray4Ukraine has gathered hundreds of digital artists from Ukraine to create art and raise funds for both the Ukrainian army, as well as the victims. This organization also seeks to make art a tool for ending the conflict in Ukraine.
10,000 New FFTs
A newly launched Ukrainian charity project, Pray4Ukraine, has brought together hundreds of the country’s digital artists who have created 10,000 NFT art pieces. Working in concert with Pray4Ukraine, the artists hope to raise funds that will be used for humanitarian aid and to support the country’s armed forces.
Pray4Ukraine’s team released a statement revealing that they have already started the sale of their NFT collection of 9,930 artifacts. According to the statement, the funds raised from the sale will go directly to the wallet of Come Back Alive, another charitable foundation that has been on the “humanitarian frontline since May 2014.” The statement adds that financial reports will be released daily via Pray4Ukraine’s public channels.
Art can save lives
Additionally, raising funds for Ukrainians devastated by the war, the Pray4Ukraine team said it will also use digital art and NFTs to fulfill the organization’s broader goal of bringing an end to hostilities between Ukraine and Russia. This statement explained:
Pray4Ukraine’s mission is to show that everyone can help to bring an end to this war and save countless lives in Ukraine. The crypto community has an alternative way to join a global, powerful solidarity movement through digital art and NFT.
According to the statement, one of the artists signing up for the cause, Olga from Kyiv, has refused to leave the capital where she “continues to channel her understanding of the enveloping events through digital art.” Another artist, Kamila, said while the war has made it difficult to find inspiration, her will to help in any way she can allows her to overcome the challenges she has faced since Russia invaded Ukraine.
