Jantar de angariação de fundos Fundashon di Artista
20 January, 2020
The culinary masters of Curaçao came together to support Fundashon di Artista. Ten local companies combined their strengths and presented a 4-course dinner with wine pairing. In the idyllic setting aside the Cathedral of Thorns, 70 guests enjoyed a culinary experience to raise money for the completion of the cathedral.
The building-sized illuminated labyrinth is a remarkable work of art of award-winning artist Herman van Bergen. The cathedral is made of sumpiña’s, the thorns of the acacia tortuoso. Van Bergen recognized the light shining through the thorns as a sign of human enlightenment and enhanced this by incorporating light within his works. Especially at the sunrise and sunset, the orbs of light create a spectacular ambience.
The fundraising dinner was beyond successful and an exceptional amount of 41.000 nafl was raised (13.500 nafl with the dinner – 27.500 nafl with the auction. All proceeds go to Fundashon di Artista.
