EAA Fundraiser – Sunflowers for Ukraine

The Escondido Art Association (EAA) will be hosting a Fundraising booth at the Grand Avenue Street Festival on May 22nd from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. This exhibition of sunflower art will be located in the “Art in the Garden” venue in Heritage Park on the corner of Juniper and Grand Avenue.

The sunflower is a symbol of happiness, optimism, longevity, and peace. It is also the national flower of Ukraine. Members of the Escondido Art Association have put together a collection of sunflower artwork to be used as fundraiser gifts. The artworks are available as gifts to donors on a sliding scale, the larger a donation the more gift options are available. All proceeds (less credit card fees) will be donated to World Central Kitchen, a non-profit organization which is currently providing meal preparation for displaced Ukrainians. To date the EAA has raised over $5,000 in this fundraiser through their display at the Escondido Public Library. This would not have been possible without the enthusiasm and commitment of so many EAA artists who so willingly gave of their time and effort to make this fundraiser so successful. We hope the beauty found in the paintings will inspire and encourage the viewer to reach out and support the people of Ukraine. We wish the people of Ukraine happiness, optimism, longevity and most of all peace.
