Charity Events by the Friends of LNAA Foundation in the USA and Canada Supporting LNAA
Over the past few months, representatives of our foundation participated in several significant events in North America aimed at supporting the Lviv National Academy of Arts (LNAA) and fostering collaboration with the Ukrainian diaspora.
Seattle, Washington
At the invitation of Father Andrii Oliinyk, a charity event was held at the Parish of Our Lady of Zarvanytsia. The event successfully raised awareness among the local community about our educational initiatives.
Olympia, Washington
At the invitation of Father Daniel, we hosted a six-day Iconography School at St. George’s Church. The program included a lecture on the history of Ukrainian icons and a hands-on workshop on creating replicas of ancient Ukrainian icons. This initiative deepened the understanding of Ukrainian culture and strengthened ties with the local community.
Canada, New Westminster
During the festival celebrating the 50th anniversary of the parish, the foundation’s president and members held several meetings with the Ukrainian diaspora, including a discussion with the head of the Ukrainian Association of Washington State, Liliya Kovalenko. These meetings paved the way for new partnerships and avenues of support.
Thanks to the generous contributions, 192,465 UAH was raised for LNAA’s scholarship program, creating new opportunities for talented students.
These journeys marked a step toward uniting Ukrainian culture and art globally and were an important milestone in the development of our academy.
A heartfelt thank you to our partners and benefactors:
, and the community!
