Our fourth art exhibition and fundraiser, LArtistForUKRAINE, will be different this time since Global Peace Initiative is invited as a special guest. This California-based artist’s coalition that specializes in discovering young talents will present a maquette of a monument of 16-year-old art prodigy Osbelit Garcia-Morales with a message to the world- a call for peace. The LArtistForUKRAINE will be the first presentation of the young genius to the world. Meanwhile, the resident artists will shed light on their art related to the war in Ukraine this time. The real-size monument will be unveiled at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool with a television audience of over 160 million viewers. Strawberry Fields, Liverpool museum of the legacy of John Lennon, has offered to temporarily host the monument until it can safely go to Ukraine when the war ends.
