Pysanka for Peace

APR 09, 2024 to APR 22, 2024

For the third year in a row, Kingsway Mall is hosting Pysanky for Peace, in honour of the traditional pysanky style of Easter egg artwork originally from Ukraine. This is a partnership between Kingsway, Alberta Council for Ukrainian Arts (ACUA), and newcomer Ukrainian artists to bring hope and support to the community throughout the Easter season.

This exhibit features thirteen hand-painted pysanky. All the artists are newcomers that have fled the war in Ukraine, arriving in Edmonton over the past few years.

The Pysanky for Peace are now listed in our Online Store

Eggs on view in person at Kingsway Mall until April 15. They were on the second floor near the GAP, but as of today have been relocated to the main floor near the Starbucks.

Your purchase supports Alberta Council for the Ukrainian Arts with newcomer programming and initiatives. Artists are being compensated for their work by Kingsway Mall. Eggs will be available for pick up at Kingsway after April 15th. Buyers will be contacted with pickup instructions. Height of the 12 eggs 30″ / 76 cm and the one large egg is 5′ / 150 cm tall.
