Pictured above are artists Adrian and Shane from Dunleer, who are among the 1,200 artists taking part in this year’s Incognito art sale in aid of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, which celebrates 25 years in 2022.
The biggest online art sale in Ireland, what makes Incognito unique is the artist’s identity remains a mystery until the sale closes. People therefore buy the art because they really like it rather than because it was done by a famous artist.
Each artwork costs €65, with all funds raised going to support Jack and Jill’s in-home specialist nursing care, respite support and end-of-life care for children with highly complex and life-limiting medical conditions, up to the age of six.
The Incognito 2022 collection of over 3,200 original artworks went live to view on www.incognito.ie on 31 March 2022.
Among the other 1,200 leading artists taking part this year are Asbestos, Ruthie Ashenhurst, Robert Ballagh, Ange Bell, Don Conroy, Peter Curling, Bridget Flinn, Martin Gale, Morgan Gibbs, Jill & Gill, Mo Kelly, Maria Levinge, Sheila McCarron, Maser, Martin Mooney, Abigail O’Brien, Mick O’Dea, Shane O’Driscoll, Sylvia Parkinson-Brown, Una Sealy, Helen Steele, and Mark Thompson.
One of the postcard artworks featuring in this year’s Incognito art sale in aid of the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation. Nice picture but nobody knows who painted it until they’ve bought it.
It has also been revealed that this year sees an array of amazing music artists taking part. Among the stars to have got out their paint brushes are the Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood, Andrea Corr of The Corrs, Aslan’s Christy Dignam, and singer/songwriters Samantha Mumba, Lyra, Damien Dempsey and Robert Grace.
Long-standing Jack and Jill ambassador, and leading international fashion designer, Paul Costelloe, is also one of the mystery artists behind the more than 3,200 art works.
The sale gets underway on Thursday, 21 April 2022. To register, visit www.incognito.ie
