Legal-minded adopters are joining forces to take on the case of an 'unpopular defendant'. Will Plautilla Nelli's Last Supper be left with one 'homeless' Apostle after the other eleven have found patrons through AWA's 'Adopt an Apostle' restoration program? No! Judas's role is central to the Christ-story and the Last Supper in particular. Through The Art Defense Fund, Advancing Women Artists invites ten distinguished advocates to each pledge their support by means of a $1,000 gift for the restoration of Judas.
