This exhibition showcases art of outstanding local and international artists who united to stand against the suffering of the most vulnerable in the war in Ukraine - children.

The event is an initiative of Ian Logan, an artist, musician and long-time gallery curator both in Wellington and in the UK, and members of the Ukrainian Association of NZ (Wellington Region). A sense of outrage at the suffering inflicted by the Russian invasion on the old, the very young and the helpless was the catalyst behind the exhibition, starting with Ian's original donation of a painting in solidarity with the local Ukrainians, which then developed into the idea of a full-scale exhibition involving artists that he knew and admired.

The proceeds from the sale of the exhibited works will go to the largest children's hospital in Ukraine – the Ohmadyt Hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Appropriately enough the exhibition is being held in the serene and historical Home of Compassion complex in Island Bay. Their beautiful exhibition space, The Ryan Room, will be the main area for showing the range of art work with realist and abstract paintings, textile based work as well as a number of sculpture pieces.

The exhibition has no entry fee and will run from Sunday 9th October to Sunday 16th October, from 9am to 3pm each day at the Ryan Room, Home of Compassion, 2 Rhine Street, Island Bay, Wellington.

Accessing and exiting the complex by vehicle is via one-way driveways. When entering, take the left-hand one-way driveway. There is a signposted visitors carpark available. When exiting by car follow the 'Exit' signs on the one-way driveway.

To find the Ryan Room where the exhibition is, proceed to the building entrance marked 'Reception'. The Ryan Room is down the hall to the right of the reception desk.

For those with a taste for good coffee, the Home of Compassion also has their Cloisters Cafe open from Tuesday to Friday 9am-3pm. The cafe is outside the door of the exhibition room.
