Successful Exhibition

From Friday 5 – 7 April 2019, art lovers could marvel at the paintings of the painter Gertrud Müller and do good to the Usthi Foundation at the “Alte Fabrik Cultural Centre” in Rapperswil SG.

Enthused by an article about Usthi, the painter Gertrud Müller, known as Müge, spontaneously decided to donate her artistic legacy to the Usthi children. Her paintings were acquired at a large exhibition in the “Alte Fabrik” in Rapperswil. The proceeds of about CHF 5000 go directly to the Usthi projects in India.

Usthi looks back on an exciting weekend. On the one hand, long-term Usthi supporters visited and admired the paintings. But we also welcomed many new faces and were able to have thrilling conversations about our work in India.

We thank Gertrud Müller for her generous gesture, the Gebert Foundation for Culture for making the exhibition possible and of course all visitors for their interest and their visit.
