Dear Friends, Supporters, and Fellow Lovers of the Arts,

Thank you for your interest in the work we are building through C A S A S ART FOUNDATION. Your encouragement and curiosity have meant the world to us as we take our first steps toward creating a platform devoted to nurturing creativity, supporting emerging talent, and fostering artistic exchange across borders.

Our mission is simple but deeply felt: to champion creativity at pivotal moments in an artist’s journey—helping painters, writers, composers, filmmakers, and other creatives pursue projects that might otherwise remain unrealised.

We are already laying the groundwork. Our first artist project welcomed the sculptor Richard Stone, who began a site-specific work that will be unveiled next year. With the help of your generous donations, we plan to publish our first artist catalogue to accompany this project—one of many artistic documents we hope to produce as we grow.

This autumn, we also hosted our first official artist residency in Ibiza, welcoming the Berlin-based artist Rumpelstil, who developed new portfolios in paint, photography, video, and sculptural birdhouses.

We are equally delighted to introduce the C A S A S ART FOUNDATION BA Art Student Bursary, which will support a deserving first-year art student in the UK. This bursary marks the beginning of our commitment to widening access and providing meaningful opportunities for early-career artists.

And this is just the beginning.

Next year, we are preparing to launch a series of new opportunities, including:

• additional artist residencies in Ibiza and Berlin, alongside the first phase of planning for a future international residency programme;

• new project-based funding for artists working toward exhibitions, publications, and films; and

• expanded Art Student Bursary grants to provide financial assistance toward tuition for artists embarking on their studies.

Your support will help us bring these plans to life.

At this early stage, donations may be made via GoFundMe to a dedicated multi-currency account established exclusively for the foundation. This ensures full separation from personal finances and provides complete transparency while we complete formal registration as a UK charitable organisation and a non-profit “Friends of” association in the United States. Once registration is complete, all funds will be transferred to the official foundation account.

Donations may be made in EUR €, GBP £, or USD $, and every contribution—large or small—will directly support artists and creative work both now and in the years to come. We look forward to keeping you, our early supporters and Founder Members, updated on our progress, our new programmes, and the artists whose work you help bring into the world.

Thank you for believing in this vision and for joining us at the very beginning of something we hope will grow into a meaningful and enduring force for creativity.

With gratitude and excitement for what’s ahead,

C A S A S ART FOUNDATION
