Creativebug Like so many these days, we read the news coming out of Ukraine wondering what we can do to help those who are affected. We at Creativebug are supporting in our own individual ways as well as part of the global community.
More specifically, we’ve partnered with Creativebug instructor Lisa Solomon and Artists Take Action, an artist-led humanitarian fundraising group. A live virtual auction launches Thursday March 24th around 8:30am PT on the Artists Take Action Instagram page and will only run for 34 hours. All proceeds will benefit Ukrainian efforts. Please take a moment to bid on one of these amazing handmade projects, some created and donated by Creativebug staff members, knowing your purchase will help bring relief to Ukraine.
To bid on these items (and many others):
