When I was working on my social project idea video, one of the main challenges was to find Petrykivka artist in Toronto, who would help me to hold fundraising masterclass for Petrykyvka arts. I thought it would be impossible. However, the fate is an interesting thing: while discussing my project idea with video operator Dmytro Doblevych I told him about the challenges I faced. Dmytro told me about Pikush family who are national Ukrainian Petrykivka artists and who contributed to Petrykivka art to be recognized by UNESCO. Moreover, he informed me that Oksanna Pikush lives in Toronto and he can get us in touch. What a gift of fate! Oksanna Pikusha knows all the problems of Petryvika as no one else, as she is always in touch with her parents, who live and paint beautiful masterpieces in Petrykivka. Oksanna`s mom is director at Petrykivka Children Arts School. My original idea was to use $1,000 for creating an online museum for Petrykivka, as it was brought to the new level after UNESCO recognition, but yet did not get enough funding for making it more accessible for people worldwide. However, after conversation with Oksana Pikush I discovered that the situation in Petrykivka needs more help than website in English. The historical school is under threat of closure because of lack of heating and funding from the government. My video is revealing the problems Pertykivka faced as well as tells you a little bit more about this art style. I also would like to thank Dmytro Doblevych ,Oksanna Pikush and her family for their help, support and time. I am glad I met you and I believe this video will help to bring attention to the school and will not only prevent it from closure, but also work on bringing international interest to this beautiful art style! Enjoy the video ☺️
