Jeanne Risica Fund for Art Education

Jeanne Risica

“New Urban Arts is the perfect fit for Jeanne,” says John Risica, whose sister, artist Jeanne Risica, died in December 2010, shortly after her first solo show in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood. “They work with kids that might never be exposed to the arts. This will be Jeanne's legacy.” A fund for New Urban Arts, John explained, will “promote the energy of my sister rather than the dollar value of her work.”

“It is our belief that when you give something away it just keeps coming back to you,” says John. “With this fund, we will remember Jeanne in the charitable spirit that she lived her life.”
