Sarah Eva Manson will donate two artworks to this year’s SCOOP Art Auction. Online bidding for these paintings will be 23rd to the 25th of April, with the possibility of limited viewings on the 22nd (subject to restrictions).
The SCOOP Art Auctions have become the backbone of our annual fundraising endeavours, allowing us to grow as a unique organisation and to support a wide range of projects, from school buildings to remote education programmes (namely our Music and IT Programmes) for young displaced kids in the Middle East and for young people living in Direct Provision Centres here in Ireland.
In 2020 we ran the event fully online and it was a roaring success raising over 87k. This year we plan to step it up another few gears and run a 3 day fully online event from the 23rd to the 25th of April, with the possibility of limited viewings on the 22nd (subject to restrictions).
And this year, as Covid wreaks havoc on all walks of life – including artists and the arts (which have been crucial to our own development and mission) – we are dividing the final hammer price 50/50 with the artists. We hope this will not only support artists during these difficult times AND raise the funds we need to continue our work, but we are hoping it will lead to a slightly more different, and more exciting, selection of artworks being included.
Bidding and the live broadcast itself will all be available per usual on the Invaluable.com platform. The first batch of artworks will be uploaded the first week of April so keep an eye on our socials and this page.
This one is going to be historic….
