Art for social aid and spirituality

Following the spirit of the artist, to put art at the service of social aid and spirituality, from 2024, the Cooperativa Santa Maria delle Rose will donate the annual net profit derived from sales of Guido Dettoni della Grazia’s sacred artworks, whether made at the Permanent Exhibition in Assisi or via e-commerce, to the Assisi CARITAS Foundation for mothers and children in vulnerable situations and the SERAFICO Institute of Assisi, dedicated to people with multiple psycho-sensory disabilities.

25 years after its inauguration, the exhibition is in need of renovation, which is underway.

To fund the project, the Santa Maria delle Rose Cooperative, is resorting to contributions from families, individuals, corporations, foundations, and other entities. In return for the contribution, their names will be mentioned on the web page, on a testimonial placard at the exhibition, and in the forthcoming book MARIA TROVATA (MARIA found).
