It is with great pride that we select the best two pieces from each of the three of us to donate 50% of the hammer price to the annual SCOOP Foundation Art Auction. Six paintings from Ballyrogan will be going up for a charity art auction.
“This year I have chosen my absolute favourite watercolour piece inspired by the Butterfly Nebula and one of the very first traditional print pieces I made using the ancient craft of Bavarian Limestone Lithography.“ - Sarah Eva Manson
Attracta’s pieces include ‘Bridge’ & ‘ SUAIMHNEAS’ and Andrew’s are ‘SNOWDROPS AND RHUBARB’ & ‘ART SCHOOL DIARY’
The live auction takes place Sunday the 24th of April in The Iveagh Garden Hotel on Harcourt St, Dublin 2. The timed auction will also take place on Invaluable.com and will end on Friday 29th of April at 10 pm. To register on SCOOP’s Invaluable page click here.
After running the event online for the last two year’s we are delighted to announce that our biggest fundraiser of the year – The SCOOP Art Auction – will be back with an exhibition and a one day live auction!! It will be taking place on Sunday the 24th of April in The Iveagh Garden Hotel on Harcourt St, Dublin 2.
In April 2021, we sold over 400 artworks at the auction and offered to split the hammer with the artists; this year we want to keep that going. For 2022, we are running two auctions in tandem with each other – there will be the one day live auction of 200 artworks, but a second timed auction of a further 200 works will run for the week after that. The timed auction works exactly like eBay, with a deadline set and with the highest bid in winning.
We believe this new format will allow more artists to get involved and will ultimately lead to more funds being raised so we, as a charity can have a bigger impact on the individuals and communities we work with.
Online bidding will still also be available on Invaluable.com for those who wish to stay at home.
The timed auction will also take place on Invaluable.com and will end on Friday 29th of April at 10pm. To register on SCOOP’s Invaluable page click here.
We are still working on an exhibition space in Dublin city but it’s proving quite difficult. Dublin is becoming harder and harder to find such spaces in, especially within our budget i.e. not costing €1500 a day.

Exhibition: 21st & 22nd (some private viewings on the 23rd)
