Julia Bednar Art and Animals Memorial Fund

Julia was 4 years old when she received a coloring book and Crayons for her birthday. Shortly after, she adopted a little orange stray kitten. This was the beginning of a lifelong passion for art and animals. Julia has been active in the art community, both as an artist and a volunteer. For years, she has served on the board of directors of the Redwood Art Association and the Humboldt Arts Council. Her volunteer work has extended to many art groups and endeavors as well. Animals have always been part of Julia's life. She served on the board of directors of the Sequoia Humane Society, and as a volunteer, she has supported numerous animal causes. She has adopted more than fifty stray cats, who came to her doorstep for help and found refuge in her home and heart. This memorial fund is intended to support art organizations and animal groups in Humboldt County, dedicated to services for enrichment of the community and for the welfare of animals. (2018)
