Ballyrogan artists, Andrew, Attracta and Sarah Eva Manson raised €450 for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. Each artist created an original piece of art in a postcard size and donated it to the Incognito campaign. These were then sold at €50 each. 2,791 artworks were created and donated in total by so many wonderful artists. You can see a full list of works and artists on their website.
This year’s Incognito was undoubtedly a MEGA success. Between Part 1 and Part 2, we raised a staggering total profit of €151,000 which will pay for over 9,000 hours of nursing for the children we look after who so badly need it. So please take a bow as the standard you submitted was just fantastic. 17 minutes it took for Part 1 to be sold out and 27 minutes for Part 2 to go – a total of 2,791 pictures in all. Amazing!
It has to be said that online was the way to go. Cornered by Covid19, we had no option, but none of us imagined it would be quite the excitement that it was, but it did, to the detriment of some buyers, open up the market worldwide so that we had nearly 15,000 people on the website at the same time. It looks like online is the way forward, but we’ll see what 2021 brings.
