Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are partnering with Jewish communities world-wide to conduct a special charitable CHAZAK art campaign for humanitarian relief in Ukraine and for the refugees from Ukraine.
Michael Rogatchi decided to donate three of his original art works for the purpose. Unlike our other ongoing several charitable art international campaigns for emergency help for Ukraine, which are based on the limited edition prints of Michael and Inna Rogatchi art, this campaign is based on Michael’s well-known and valuable original artworks.
The artist deliberately priced them substantially lower than their professionally evaluated estimates, having two aims in mind: to make the works more accessible for potential buyers, and to have an opportunity for our partners to auction the works, starting from these special charitable campaign prices.
If the first round of this campaign is successful, we will be willing to see further possible donations of Michael’s and Inna’s original artworks.
Additionally: we believe that it would be good and fair to have an opportunity to welcome any donation for this campaign. For this purpose, Michael has donated an unlimited number of museum-quality A4-size prints of his famous Akeidah work, signed by him by hand, as a token of our appreciation to everyone who would contribute any sum into this campaign. We will ship the corresponding amount of the prints to our partnering communities.
We are very grateful for your great cooperation at this daring moment for our brethren in and from Ukraine and for many of us.
