Help send Cathy Herndon to Este, Italy
Cathy Herndon is the Artist Exchange Honoree for 2022. She's going to Este, Italy,
to create, to teach, and to exhibit her work!
Long-time regional artist and teacher Cathy Herndon has been selected as the exchange artist by the Fredericksburg-Este Association. She will travel to Este, Italy, in April and May for three weeks. While in Este, she will create a wall mural as a gift to Este, as well as produce her own art. In addition, she will teach in Este’s academic prep high school and at a facility that works with the disabled, an assignment that she requested.
Cathy will also mount an exhibit of her art alongside Andrea Rimondo, an Este artist who has widely shown both painting and sculpture in Italy.
Contributors to the Arts Exchange Fund will be eligible to participate in a drawing for one of Cathy’s original works, during an exhibit and talk when she returns. SUGGESTED DONATION IS $25, AS GoFundMe RECEIVES A FEE FROM EACH DONATION.
More information is available on the Fredericksburg-Este website, www.fred-este.org.
The Fredericksburg-Este Association is a non-profit. Your gifts are tax-deductible. You will receive an acknowledgment of your contribution from GoFundMe.
Here is Cathy, drawing at the City Dock (photo by Franco Rubini). She is passionate about her art, and has served as an arts and cultural leader in Fredericksburg for many years. It is an honor to be selected as the Arts Exchange Honoree. Your contribution will help defray the travel and incidental costs of her artist stay.
Cathy will exhibit alongside Este artist Andrea Rimondo, who is both painter and sculptor.
Here is a detail of one of his artworks.
Your contribution helps keep cultural exchange alive. And, in addition, you will be eligible for one of Cathy's works when she returns from her stay. We will hold an event for Cathy, during which she will talk about her visit, display her work, and comment on the art that will be awarded to contributors such as you!
