Even “Immersive Van Gogh” is lending its support for Ukraine. For one day only, the Hollywood space will flip into a projection-based exhibition about one of the most foundational figures in modern Ukrainian literature—and donate all of its proceeds to Ukrainians impacted by the ongoing war.
“Immersive Shevchenko: Soul of Ukraine” will highlight the life and work of 19th-century artist, writer and activist Taras Shevchenko. A proponent of Ukrainian independence and a critic of Russian oppression, Shevchenko’s paintings and writings will illuminate a half-dozen Lighthouse Immersive locations on March 15. All proceeds from the tickets will be given to the Red Cross Emergency Relief Fund for Ukraine and the National Bank of Ukraine Fund.
As our friends at Time Out Chicago explain, the show actually first launched last year in cities around Ukraine (Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky was among the visitors in Kyiv, prior to the war).
Reservations are available hourly at various levels of donations, from $30 to $90 (and if you’re looking for more ways to help, we have a few other suggestions). Each ticket also includes access to “Immersive Van Gogh”; Shevchenko will run for about 15 minutes, followed by 40 minutes of Van Gogh, and that loop will repeat throughout the day (you’re welcome to stick around for multiple shows).
