When we lose someone we love, how do we ensure their impact lives on? 

In this episode of The Well-Endowed Podcast, we speak to Alain and Erika Lefèvre about their son Mathieu— an exceptional and internationally recognized visual artist, whose life and career were tragically cut short. 

In conversation with Justin Bell, Alain and Erika remember Mathieu: who he was and his artistic legacy. They explain how creating the Mathieu Lefèvre Memorial Fund at ECF has allowed them to continue Mathieu’s story through grants that support young and emerging artists to pursue their dreams.
