Charity Auction “Ranu a Sepot” at AVU Gallery in Prague

On December 5, 2024, the AVU Gallery at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague hosted the charity auction “Ranu a Sepot.”

The event showcased works by students, faculty, and alumni of the Lviv National Academy of Arts, including pieces created in the departments of artistic ceramics and artistic wood. The artworks, made from fragments of weapons, ceramics, and wood, symbolized the transformation of destruction into art.

The auction attracted numerous attendees, including representatives of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, the Ukrainian Consulate in the Czech Republic, and honorable guests who supported the initiative.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, especially Maria Topolčanská, Vit Havranek, and Anna Hrabáková, for providing the platform and their unwavering support. Special thanks go to the organizer Tereza Engelová for her dedication and energy, as well as the hosts Adéla Elbelová and Jigi Madl for their professionalism and for creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

This project once again proves that art has the power to unite and bring hope, even in the most challenging times.
