YMMV. Since our audience is global, "Friday" refers to more than the 24 hours designated "Friday" in any one time zone.
We're inaugurating this Art Friday with a celebration of last Art Friday!

Art You Can Own!
Pressed flower frame by u/Bohemialife1
u/Bohemialife1 weaves camo nets for the soldiers by day and makes surpassingly beautiful pressed flower frames by night. She sells the frames in her Etsy shop, and uses the proceeds to support volunteers and soldiers. She has some new frames!
L-R: Limited edition engraved knife and painted bullet shells by Maxim Kilderov
Artist and actual legend u/kilderov, whom you can read about here, was forced to leave occupied Nova Kakhovka for his own safety. Yes, Nova Kakhovka, home to the dam that russia destroyed with catastrophic results on June 6, 2023. He now sells his work to support the civilians in his city and the warriors from it, who are mostly fighting in and around Bakhmut. Check out his ongoing painted shells initiative, his limited edition series of engraved knives signed by the artist (I have one and I love it), and his latest post. DM him if anything catches your eye!
So far, r/Ukraine, you've helped him raise well over USD 40,000 for Humanity, which provides humanitarian aid and evacuation in Nova Kakhovka and Kherson, and for Nova Kakhovka's warriors at the front. Here's a great example of what he's doing with the funds you help him raise.
Some of u/21_Vetal_01's handiwork
u/21_vetal_01, whom you can read about here, turns scraps of destroyed russian equipment into trophies and souvenirs, and his wife makes beautiful little treasures and beautiful little treasure boxes. Proceeds support every facet of the war effort, from military aid to humanitarian aid to cash assistance for families of the fallen. Here are some examples of what they make, here is some of their latest work, and here's a very, very small example of the astonishing variety of things they do with the funds they raise. Check them out on Instagram at Two Souls Creations.
u/brammo1991 skillfully and with style creates Ukraine-inspired Space Marine dioramas, then auctions them off and donates the proceeds to U24 and Come Back Alive. He's raised over €1400 so far! He takes commissions; here are some recent ones. DM him if you want one of your own!
u/Flowrisma makes bright, cheerful fabric floral wreaths. Check out her Etsy shop!

A cinema in Turku (Finland) is showing a bunch of Ukrainian short films next Saturday. I’m curious to see what they are like.
