Honoring a Legacy: Celebrating the Lifelong Bond Between Ruby Bute and Lucinda La Rich Audain
In honor of the incredible legacy left by the late Ruby Bute and her cherished relationship with Lucinda La Rich Audain, we invite the community to celebrate the profound impact of their bond that transcended the realms of creativity and mentorship. Ruby Bute, a beloved artist and teacher, nurtured Lucinda's artistic talents from the tender age of 13, guiding her through not just the artistic techniques of painting and drawing, but also imparting invaluable lessons in the business side of being a creative.
Lucinda blossomed under Ruby's mentorship, evolving from a promising young painter into a multifaceted artist, exploring avenues such as poetry and body art. Her passion for the arts was further fueled by Ruby's encouragement, leading her to establish the Funtopia Youth Initiative. This foundation aims to inspire young people in the community to embrace their creative potential and explore new dimensions within the creative arts industry. Lucinda's dedication to reviving cultural expressions, such as stilt walking and the Soualigan Giants Moko Jumbies amongst many other creative disciplines.
The family of Ruby Bute sees Lucinda as her protégé, and in honor of Ruby's enduring legacy, they kindly request that instead of sending flowers for her memorial service, donations be made to support the Funtopia Youth Initiative Foundation. These contributions will ensure the continuation of Ruby's mission to pass on the knowledge of cultural heritage to future generations.
