HOK employees from around the world created and donated more than 100 pieces of art for the online auction. All proceeds will provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians impacted by war through our charity partner, World Vision.
Update October 24: Thanks to all those who donated artwork, purchased artwork and continued to donate even after the auction officially closed, HOK raised $15,400 USD for the purchase of humanitarian aid and assistance. Thank you!
HOK and its philanthropic arm, HOK Impact, have announced the launch of Unite for Ukraine, an online art auction to benefit Ukrainians impacted by war. The auction is open to the public. We encourage our friends, clients, vendors, industry partners—anyone!—to visit the online gallery and bid on the incredible artwork. Bidding begins Wed., Sept. 14, and concludes Tuesday, Sept. 27.

More than 80 HOK employees from around the world created and donated artwork for the auction. The art for sale includes paintings, illustrations, photographs, ceramics and more. Our charity partner, World Vision, has pledged that 100% of proceeds will go directly to providing Ukrainians with humanitarian aid through its outreach in Ukraine and Eastern Europe. This type of aid—food, shelter, hygiene kits, clothing and trauma support—is critically important as the winter is just around the corner and nearly one-third of Ukrainians have fled their homes, according to The UN Refugee Agency.
On behalf of HOK and HOK Impact, we thank you in advance for your generous support. And special thanks to our artist donors and World Vision.
