A Public Arts Initiative in aid of Jack & Jill Children's Foundation ***
INCOGNITO is an exhibition of 1500 small-scale artworks – all the size of a greeting card (148mm x 105mm) – which will grace the walls of the Solomon gallery, Dublin in April 2019 and The Lavit Gallery, Cork in May 2019. The public will be given the opportunity to buy each work for €50. Among these 1500 artworks are a large number of much more valuable collectable pieces from well-known artists – but no one knows which they are (although everyone is welcome to guess).
Every single euro from the sale of these works will go to The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation to help sick children – not to the administration of the charity, but directly to nursing care of children with brain damage in every county across Ireland.
This arts fundraiser is a slight departure for Jack & Jill from its previous arts initiatives of three dimensional cows, eggs, pigs and hares over the years and it's hoping that the simplicity and speed of this approach will appeal to a wide base of artists and the anticipation and gamble of revealing the artist post-purchase means that all buyers will get to make an affordable purchase of something they like, and some buyers might just pick up something very valuable for €50.
