Loveland, Ohio – On Saturday, April 27, artists at the Loveland Art Studios on Main participated in a fundraiser and donation drive for Ukraine called WE STAND WITH UKRAINE.
Donations were collected that support Matthew 25: Ministries’ Ukrainian relief efforts.

Resident artists created paintings depicting their response to Putin’s war against the Ukrainian people.
Portions of the sale proceeds of all paintings went directly to Matthew 25: Ministries.
The public was invited to the free wine & hors d’oeuvre reception.
Guests met many of the artists and viewed the artwork for sale. Guests were also encouraged to bring a donation for Ukraine that went directly to (Matthew 25:Ministries that especially wanted medical supplies and paper products.) To make a donation, please CLICK HERE.
In these three LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV videos, I interviewed Johanna Kremer, who organized the event, as well as resident artists, Lucinda Peterson and Kim Wanamaker.
