Exhibition in favour of Usthi

From 5th to 7th of april 2019 the Usthi Foundation is hosting a large exhibition of Gertrud Müller’s paintings at the “Alte Fabrik Cultural Centre” in Rapperswil SG.

Inspired by an article about Usthi, the painter Gertrud Müller, known as Müge, spontaneously decided to give her artistic legacy to the Usthi children. With the earnings from the paintings, Gertrud Müller wants to contribute to more justice and less discrimination for the children and adolescents who are given access to education and healthcare through Usthi.

Gertrud Müller’s artistic activity over the last 30 years has concentrated on watercolours, mixed media, etchings and reliefs and includes nature-related, symbolic, abstract and representational works.

The exhibition will take place at the Alte Fabrik in Rapperswil-Jona, Klaus Gebert-Strasse 5, opening with a vernissage on Friday, April 5 at 19:00. The exhibition will continue on Saturday, April 6 from 10:00 – 16:00 and Sunday, April 7 from 11:00 – 16:00.

All proceeds from the exhibition will go to the projects of the Usthi Foundation. The Usthi Team would like to thank the Gebert Foundation for their hospitality at the “Alte Fabrik” and would be delighted to welcome you to the exhibition.
