Wayne Amedee and the Cornet Collection
A celebrated artist based in New Orleans with a career spanning over 40 years, Wayne Amedee is passionate about the Joseph-Aurélien Cornet, F.S.C., Collection gifted to Loyola by Frère Cornet, a Belgian Christian Brother who did extensive work in documenting Congolese art and culture while working for decades in Africa. 在做遗产规划的时候, Amedee designated Loyola as one of the beneficiaries of his donor-advised fund, which will ultimately support the Cornet Collection and create the Fr. 非洲艺术中的短号椅子. Amedee was also a leader in the establishment of the Françoise Billion Richardson Professorship, which has provided resources for the digitization of the collection. 他对艺术的热情, creativity, 对洛约拉的爱, and Ignatian values have gone a long way in making the Cornet Collection a working part of what Loyola offers the world.
