Running from 10 March – 24 March, the latest edition of Pictures for Purpose supports World Central Kitchen, a charity devoted to providing fresh meals in the wake of humanitarian, climate, and community crises.
As with previous editions of the fundraiser, participating artists can opt to receive 25% of the proceeds from the sale of their prints. For its third edition, this model is a potentially valuable lifeline for those artists directly affected by the events in Ukraine, including participating Ukrainian artists Daria Svertilova, Julie Poly and Synchrodogs.
