WHAT to WEAR:
Think Roaring 20s fashion and all the accessories: sequins, feathers, pearls, fedoras, and don’t forget flat shoes or sandals are best due to the terrain in our gardens.
YOU make the Difference!
With the 2021 opening of the Caetani house to the public and the return of Sveva’s Recapitulation painting series, and a successful season of tours and events in 2022, we have already accomplished so much with your support.
GARDEN PROJECT
Our latest project includes plans to upgrade our garden and grounds and improve access. There are very few outdoor spaces near Downtown Vernon where you can have alfresco weddings, concerts, or special events, and we feel that we have a great location to accommodate such events.
We hope that we can count on your support of this important fundraiser. Please join us to ensure that Sveva’s vision continues.
Find out how you can contribute by contacting us at splash@caetani.org, or call 250-275-1525.
We look forward to seeing you there!
