Nearly $2 million in Endowment Funds
That’s ninety-five sponsors
Over 160 Scholarships Awarded

A Record-Breaking Evening
In 2025, Abbondànza was nothing short of extraordinary, raising more than $70,000 thanks to the shared spirit and generosity of attendees, sponsors and donors. With all net proceeds matched by the Board of Governors, the total impact will be doubled — making this our most successful Abbondànza to date.
The funds will be used to create new awards in the endowment to support work-integrated learning for Fine Arts students, building their confidence and career readiness.

The people who donate and the people who make this possible are the people who keep artists and young adults like me in the Fine Arts and creating and cycling through to that new generation. Thank you very much.
