To show our support for Ukraine and to raise donations, Central Illinois artists have created artwork and patrons are invited to purchase them and/or to donate directly to various organizations serving in Ukraine. Donations can also be given to CAC to be passed on. Contemporary Art Center will donate 20% of sales and any donations to Doctors Without Borders.

Besides live music and complimentary snacks and drinks, the art reception on Saturday, July 15 at Contemporary Art Center will feature a flower dress sculpture by Kira Santiago that can only be seen at the reception.

To make the evening even more festive and to show appreciation for Ukrainian culture, we will sell flower crowns by Kira Santiago for $38 each to wear during the event. Flower crowns must be ordered prior to the event. The deadline to order: midnight, July 9.
