The Melbourne Society of Women Painters and Sculptors (MSWPS) has used its 113th annual Exhibition to show support for the Ukrainian community through a fundraising program featuring special Sunflower artworks.  

Sunflowers - soniashnyk in Ukrainian — have been grown in Ukraine since the mid-18th century. Throughout Ukraine’s history, the sunflower has been used as a symbol of peace.

All Sunflower artwork sales will go 100% to the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.

The works exhibited are a symbol of support from artists of The Melbourne Society of Women Painters & Sculptors reflecting the support of the Australian community.
