The Friends of Andrew Bucci Fund at the Community Foundation for Mississippi was created to honor the memory of Andrew Bucci (1922-2014), one of Mississippi’s most celebrated and prolific visual artists. The fund’s grant awards help Mississippi public, parochial and private school art teachers acquire supplies that support visual arts instruction for grades PreK-12.

“In teaching, we tell our students that we are lifelong learners. This is so true. I loved every minute of research on Andrew Bucci and every minute of sharing that with my students.”
