ART PLATFORM Project
The ART PLATFORM project is a series of themed festivals organized by the Responsible Citizens NGO in the city of Kramatorsk. We aimed to create a space where residents and visitors can become acquainted with various creative and cultural initiatives.
We established a platform for everyone: for young musical bands looking to showcase their creativity, for yoga instructors offering free classes for anyone interested, for various types of handicrafts, and for entrepreneurs presenting their products.
This alternative form of active leisure provides opportunities for communication and networking, which are sometimes lacking in Kramatorsk.
Charity is an essential component of the project. At the festivals, we raise funds to support our young beneficiaries with chronic illnesses.
We have already held three festivals in Kramatorsk.
ART PLATFORM: INDIA
Yoga, mandalas, bindi (the decorative marks painted on the forehead), mehndi patterns, and Eastern hairstyles were all part of the festival. Attendees could also learn to weave dream catchers and create floral garlands.
We watched films, played authentic instruments, danced, and enjoyed delights from our partners. The festival was charitable, with some activities free for guests, while others required a symbolic donation.
We raised 3,733 UAH, which was donated for the purchase of a bone fixation device for 4-year-old Tymofii, who was born with one leg shorter than the other. Approximately 600 people attended the festival.
