Sonya Gallery: A Sunflower Network Project is a pop-up art gallery exhibiting the work of contemporary Ukrainian artists to raise money for Sunflower Network’s efforts in Ukraine. Through this presentation of contemporary Ukrainian artists, Sonya Gallery aims to not only raise essential funds for immediate and long-term impact, but also fosters a profound sense of shared humanity across borders.
New Paintings is the largest exhibition by the gallery to date, and the first to feature the work of non-Ukrainian artists. Focusing on new, emerging, and rediscovered painters from around the world, the exhibition supports Sunflower Network’s Project Horizon.
ABOUT SONYA GALLERY: A SUNFLOWER NETWORK PROJECT
On one of our early trips to Ukraine, we connected deeply to the art, fashion and music radiating from the country and its people. In October 2022, our team opened up our first pop-up art gallery in an old hair salon in New York City raised $200,000 for our mission and garnered 800 opening night attendees. Since then we have expanded our footprint to Los Angeles and Aspen, and created three successful art exhibitions, a fashion show, and a pop-up streetwear shop that have enabled the direct delivery of $3.5 million in crucial humanitarian aid.
