Hancock Park 6th Grader Opens Art Fair Fundraiser to Help Ukraine

Gary Baseman, the Emmy award winning artist who created the animated Disney show “Teachers Pet” donated a piece featuring sunflowers, Ukraine’s national flower and the symbol of resistance to Russia's invasion.

“Being a child of holocaust survivors - the idea of democracy and free speech and seeing what’s happening there resonates,” Baseman said. Zoey also got contributions from her classmates and neighbors like 17-year-old Lucy Lipofsky who designed the website and logo for the art show. “My first reaction to this was ‘omg I’m obsessed with Zoey’ I mean, she’s amazon, she put together an entire art fair and she’s 12,” Lipofsky said.

Lucy’s parents own the Plus Coop designer home goods store on Beverly Blvd in the Fairfax district, they had some extra space and so they donated it to set up the art gallery.The fundraiser called “art for peace” will be open Friday through Sunday 11a.m. to 5p.m. in the Fairfax district.
