My Favorite Cause - Venice in Peril Fund


 VENICE IN PERIL


 #539 Venice Salute 20x20 oil on linen - chuck larivey

Mysterious & Romantic Venice belongs to the world at large. Venice is without doubt a world treasure of architectural art with a unique quality of light and atmosphere, making it one of the most photographed and painted cities. Venice unselfishly welcomes all who would enjoy her treasures. Now Venice needs the world, Venice is in Peril and requires funds for restoration and research into the underlying problems which slowly destroy its very foundations. 

We as artist can help by donating auctionable art or portions of our Venice themed art sales to the Venice in Peril Fund, established as a charitable foundation by the British after the great flood of 1966. 

Galleries can help worldwide by gathering artists to participate in special events devoted to Venice in Peril such as WH Patterson, an acclaimed London gallery of fine art.  WH Patterson have held annual Venice exhibitions for over 20 years, featuring work by leading UK and international artists, with a portion of all sales going towards the restoration of this wonderful city. WH Patterson alone have raised more than [£160,000] for the Venice in Peril foundation.
