Let’s Decorate the City Together!

On August 8th at 16:00 The Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation presented in Kiev unique Paint the Wall project as a part of the Smile Makes Everyone Happier program and Good Cause Every Day! promo event. Guests of the event became the witness of the opening of the graffiti picture, which covers the entire area of ​​the side wall of house on Zlatoustovskaya 53 street. The picture is the result of the work of The Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation and creative initiative group, which consisted of five professional artists.

The artists were creating the art project for nearly two weeks. The scale of the picture is really impressive – 21X12, 5 meters. Being a child, probably each of us dreamed of having own tree house, where you can hide from everyone and do what you like. The organizers and artists decided to bring to life the idea of ​​returning to the world of childhood and managed to depict on a gray wall vivid picture – a fabulous tree house where happy children live. Being a child, all the colors of life seemed brighter, we were able to enjoy every day and knew how to be happy. The project was created to ensure that each person who will look at a painted wall will smile and begin to enjoy every day as it was in a childhood.

The guests of the festival was not only able to admire the bright pattern, but also had an opportunity to involved to the process of the picture ending by themselves. The representatives of the Foundation offered everyone who was present on the celebration to be creative and paint gloomy garages, which are situated near the house. There were a lot of people who wished to do it, so in a short time the rusty walls of the garages were covered with colorful drawings. Especially popular among the visitors of the project were flowers, cats and fish, and someone even drawn a fairy angel.

“I did not expect that I will be offered to draw something be myself. It was a pleasant surprise, because the last time I painted on the pavement was many years ago when I was a little girl “– shared her impressions of the holiday guest Helena Ivanovna.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this project for the native of the city and especially for those who live in Shevchenko district. Because, the main idea of ​​the picture – to induce the positive emotions and smiles.

As a part of the project, representatives of the Charity Foundation presented a symbolic Mailbox for smiles for children. Now little Ukrainians will be able to send messages to the Foundation with their requests. Kids can throw their letters directly into the box or send letters from all over Ukraine to the address Zlatoustovskaya 53, marked “To the mailbox of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation”.

At the celebration the bandura players from exclusive Ukrainian musical group “Shpilyastі kobzarі” entertained – the participants of the project. At the project musicians, whom we know from the TV show “Ukraine’s Got Talent”, performed covers of world famous hits and Ukrainian folk songs played in their own interpretation. The guests loved the emotional performance of the bandura players, so people began to dance and sing along.

Project organizers have decided to entertain guests without pathos and glamor. Tables were covered with newspapers, iron cookware, aluminum spoons, uzvar instead of champagne, canapes, black bread, cucumbers, green onions and patties – all these caused the nostalgic memories of the Soviet era and made the event more soulfulness.

The festival organizers wore the uniform of builders, and it was very symbolic, as Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation “built” fairy tree house, which has caused a lot of sincere emotion of the people, and every day with love in heart is building a new world.

At the end of the project the Foundation launched three hundred balloons to the sky. The representatives of the Konstantin Kondakov Charity Foundation gave the guests white and blue balloons to release them all together to the sky. While releasing the balloons to the sky, everyone was making their wishes.

After all with love in our hearts we are building a new world.
