Now there is a heading to mystify! But it is not so complicated when explained.
I write about Incognito.
One could say, I am plugging Incognito, and it is indeed a pleasure to do so!
Incognito is an Irish art organization supporting Jack and Jill, an exemplary organisation that provides nursing support to families who have children with challenging medical needs. https://www.jackandjill.ie/
Going for about five years now but on line this year for the first time, Incognito sells post card art pieces from various artists. More than 3000 artists from over 27 countries have donated artwork over the years.
This is the really fun aspect. The cards are all sold For €60.00 each -yes sixty Euro! But you don´t know who has painted/created what post card from viewing the website until after the annual art work auction - which is TODAY Thursday the 22nd of April at 10:00 am.
So you pay your €60 in advance; one can purchase up to three choices of art work. Picture allocation is computer generated, so you might get all your chosen pictures – or none at all.
Now is that fun and drama or what!
Before the auction, you can view all 3000 plus artworks, decide on one to three of them, agree to pay up front. Then you might get fabulous art work from a well known artist, that you don´t know. Or get a picture not at all to your taste, and from a not so well known artist.
The website is easy, and indeed enjoyable to navigate; it is a joy to ´potter about´ on the site. - And it all looks so pretty! I viewed every single piece of art work, all 3000 plus pieces. (Covid Times gives one time!)
To enjoy the work and learn more about Incognito check out: https://www.incognito.ie/
The Incognito project brings in much needed funds for Jack and Jill, it is a great way to introduce people to art, and to introduce various artists to the wider community. - Not to mention introducing the great work of Jack and Jill to the public. Just win wins all over the place!
These first three pictures are my choices; I would be very happy to get even one of them, three times as happy to get three of them!
I am glad we can only attempt to purchase three cards, because I would have wanted to purchase these too... which I don´t need, and lets face it, three of anything no matter how nice is enough... well except Smarties. One can never get enough Smarties!
I add a few more pictures from the 3000 plus available; you can see the talent and diversity are a delight.
Do enjoy! And mark your calenders for next March to check out this wonderful project!
