On Sunday, May 22, 2022, the City and its Russian Advisory Board will host a West Hollywood Fundraiser for Refugees from Ukraine in place of its annual Russian Arts and Culture Festival programming. The event will take place from 11AM to 7PM at Plummer Park, located at 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard. It will embrace the opportunity to explore and share the deep historical elements of Russian culture within a broader understanding of empathy and support of Ukraine. Donations will be collected to support organizations assisting Ukrainian refugees. Other events during the month of Russian Arts and Culture Month will also be refocused to serve as fundraisers for people in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees. Details about these events and about additional programming during May are available at www.weho.org/fundraiser.
