Also, thank you to the members of the Aon Art Committee for volunteering and dedicating their time, Clyde & Co for their partnership and to our art consultants, Little Van Gogh for their fresh ideas and enthusiasm.

Two artists are chosen and receive a 10-day residency at the beautiful farmhouse and studios in Tuscany, Italy. Special thanks to Julian and Amanda for their generous support over the past three years. www.artistinitaly.com
