Help get Leonie to Italy!
Donation protected
My friend Leonie is a Tasmanian artist, printmaker and art teacher in Hobart. She specialises in creating amazing wearable art, including the most beautiful garments made of paper.
Recently, Leonie was invited to be the first Tasmanian artist to showcase her wearable art in the Lucca Biennale Cartasia 2024, a three-month long, indoor-outdoor festival in Tuscany. An amazing achievement! You can find out more about her work, and the Lucca Biennale Cartasia here: https://www.instagram.com/leonie_oakes_artist?igsh=ejVwZHVhYTdhN20y&utm_source=qr
Leonie’s pieces were sent Italy to be part of the Lucca Biennale Cartasia, which runs until September 29. This all happened quickly, and budget constraints mean that Leonie is unable to join other artists attending this international event, or convey her artwork’s Tasmanian-inspired story first-hand.
There’s still time to help Leonie get to Italy before the event closes! Any generous donations will go towards Leonie's flight and accommodation expenses.
