A Calgary art gallery is launching a new exhibition ripped from the headlines Thursday.
The Collectors' Gallery of Art is hosting an evening opening of an art exhibition and silent auction in support of a group of visual artists and musicians who recently arrived in Calgary from Ukraine.
Some of the work includes documentary images of soldiers, civilians and urban landscapes of cities by Kharkiv-based photographer Oleg Arkhanhorodsky, who is still in Ukraine embedded with soldiers fighting against Russia. "There's some real talent here," Kaspar-Kraft said, adding that 100 per cent of the funds raised from the sale of the art in this exhibition and the silent auction will go to all the participating artists and musicians performing at Thursday's opening.
"I remember the struggles my parents had not speaking any English," she said, "Trying to find work, and the feeling of isolation in a new and bewildering country."
