Whidbey Community Foundation is excited to announce its 10th annual Holiday Sculpture Project, a partnership with renowned sculptor Georgia Gerber and her husband Randy Hudson. This year’s pewter sculpture is the Beaver with Pup. Also available for purchase are the 2025 Wholly Cow, the 2024 Otter with Towhee, the 2023 Cat Tales, the 2022 Loon with Chicks, the 2021 Penguin Pair, 2020 Three French Hens, the 2019 Dashing Turtle, the 2018 Sheepish Rabbit, and the 2017 Settling Owl. Georgia and Randy will work with Whidbey Community Foundation on donating the proceeds from sculpture sales to Whidbey nonprofits.
In their words:
We are excited to bring you our 27th annual Holiday Sculpture. This is the tenth year we have collaborated with Whidbey Community Foundation (WCF), and collectively we have raised over $270,000 from sculpture sales. We thank WCF for all they do. We also thank the Rob Schouten Gallery for helping us with distribution once again, Ben Cordsen for his skilled pewter casting, and especially all the generous collectors who have supported this effort over the years. What started out long ago as Christmas gifts for family and friends expanded into an annual fundraising venture in support of local social service organizations on Whidbey Island. The project has helped make a difference in the lives of many people — particularly children since our main focus has been providing for organizations that assist families during the holiday season.
Sculptures can be purchased online by visiting Whidbey Community Foundation’s website: www.whidbeyfoundation.org. Sculptures are also available for purchase and pick-up at the Rob Schouten Gallery on the corner of Anthes Ave and 1st Street in Langley.
