It has been a long-standing tradition of the Shevchenko Foundation to celebrate the work of Taras Shevchenko by producing a bookmark featuring a unique artwork based on a pre-selected poem.
Thousands of copies of the annual bookmark are distributed at no cost as educational tools to children across Canada while art lovers collect them as miniature art pieces.
Take advantage of this great opportunity to broaden your exposure! The successful artist will receive $1,000 for the original artwork.
Deadline for submissions: January 15, 2024 |

WHAT IS GIVING TUESDAY? |
Giving Tuesday was created as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. The idea caught on, and has grown around the world, inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
There are so many different ways to express generosity on Giving Tuesday and every day! Give time, make someone smile, help a neighbour, or make a donation. Everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts.
We invite you to join the movement and support TSF!
Take advantage of the generosity of Mawer Investment Management to double your gift! Donate early HERE.
Thank you for your support in this season of giving! |
