UNA invites artists to participate in annual Christmas card project

by Oksana Trytjak
UNA Special Projects Coordinator

Ukrainian artists are encouraged and invited to participate in the UNA's Christmas Card Project. All proceeds from the sale of these cards are allocated to Soyuzivka, the UNA's 400-acre resort. The UNA is accepting works for reproduction that have a traditional Ukrainian Christmas theme.

In printing these Christmas cards the UNA popularizes Ukrainian artists. In the last few years the UNA's Christmas cards have featured reproductions of works by artists from the United States, Canada and Ukraine.

Works published included those by Bohdan Borzemsky, Mykhailo Dmytrenko, Maria Harasowska-Daczyszyn, Tetianna Gajecky, Jacques Hnizdovsky, Petro Holovaty, Oleksander Kaniuka, Yurij Kozak, Yarema Kozak, Danylo Koshtura, Zenowia Kulynych, Vitaliy Lytvyn, Andrij Maday, Luba Maksymchuk, Roman Markovych, Marta Anna, Natalka, Lidia Palij, Lidia Piasecky, Orest Poliszczuk, Myron Ryzhula, Martha Savchak, Christine Saj, Jaroslav Stadnyk, Olena Stasiuk, Irene Tverdochlib, Halyna Tytla, Yurij Trytjak and Yurij Viktiuk.

Once again this year the UNA will publish approximately 120,000 cards that will be distributed throughout the United States, Canada and Ukraine. The intent is to popularize the traditional Ukrainian Christmas theme and encourage Ukrainian artists to submit various works featuring traditional motifs, be they modern, religious or primitive interpretations. Diversified genres - oil, watercolor, tempera, graphics, woodcut, ceramic tile, mixed media or others - will add variety and interest to the collection.

Artists can participate in this project by forwarding either a slide, photo or original work that can be reproduced and printed to: Ukrainian National Association, 2200 Route 10, Parsippany, NJ 07054; Att'n. Oksana Trytjak.

The deadline for submission of art works is August 31.
