Ireland's largest online auction to see artists play game of hide and seek with buyers in aid of Jack and Jill

Now in its eighth year, Incognito, Ireland’s biggest online art sale, will be launched on Thursday April 4. On that day, thousands of artworks by hundreds of artists will go on live and buyers will have three weeks to peruse and pick their favourite pieces before the sale goes live on Wednesday, April 24.

Incognito, the online art event will raise funds Jack & Jill Children Foundation

Each original Incognito postcard-size artwork costs just €65 and features a variety of media including traditional pastels, watercolours, oils, ink, and charcoal, as well as the more unusual such as felt, glass, ceramic, wax, and wool, and endless other materials such as old socks.

And there's a chance to snaffle up a big name piece with previous rock n' roll superstars including Bob Geldof, Bruce Springsteen & Pattie Scialfa, Bono, The Edge and Ronnie Wood, while high-profile artists have included Robert Ballagh, Tracey Emin, Helen Steele, Ruthie Ashenhurst, Abigail O’Brien and Maser, to name but a few.

Lucinda Hall, curator of Incognito says that online art fair offers equal opportunities for artists as well as supporting a great cause: “What I love about Incognito is its equality of opportunity. Every artist has the same chance of getting their picture featured. So, whether you’re a household name or starting out in art school, it is what you create, and not who you are, that’s important.

Continuing she says: "I love the fact that people have a chance of buying the art because, at €65 a piece, it’s affordable. And, of course, I love the fact that it raises so much money for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation."

With this year set to have the highest number of participating artists ever, Jack and Jill CEO Deirdre Walsh says:  "The funds raised through Incognito 2024 will translate into vital in-home nursing care, respite support and end-of-life care for over 400 families who are caring for children, up to the age of six years, across Ireland."
