NFT-platform laCollection announces collaboration with the art collective United Artists. The organizations plan to raise funds to restore Ukrainian cultural institutions damaged during the war.
The United Artists for Ukraine initiative aims to support cultural institutions such as the National Art Museum of Ukraine, the Odessa Fine Arts Museum and the Ukrainian Institute. The initiative also wants to create the conditions for the revival of Ukrainian culture and art in the post-war period.

The world's leading artists, collectors and curators, including Marina Abramovic, Ron Arad, Douglas Gordon and Francesco Vezzoli decided to support the culture of Ukraine and its artists. The Thaddeus Ropac and Emmanuel Perrotin galleries also joined the initiative.
Collectible NFTs, available on laCollection, are digital membership cards with exclusive features. They fall into two categories:
- Common. This category includes 100 NFTs worth €500 each, which allows holders access to all events organized by the Art World partner network;
- Rare. This collection contains 40 VIP cards worth €1000 each. In addition to visiting thematic events, you can meet United Artists representatives in person, visit their art studios, alongside events across the international art scene with participating partners. Thus, rare NFTs owners will take a private tour of Ron Arad’s art studio in London, meet with collector David Nahmad, and visit Art Basel's contemporary art fair.
The collection consists of unique NFTs created by rising Ukrainian artist Irina Ozarinskaya. Tokens feature graphic portraits of 10 famous artists including Keith Haring, Piet Mondrian, Niki de Saint Phalle and Andy Warhol and others.
United Artists representatives also offer to purchase some of their artworks at a discounted price or through exchange for other works of art. All raised funds will be distributed across eight projects chosen through the Ukrainian Institute of Culture.
