Artists get in frame for the incognito art sale

LIMERICK artists have shown what huge hearts they have in donating an array of uniquely special artworks for this year’s incognito art sale in aid of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.

A total of 26 artists from the city and county have come together to back the fundraiser which enables 19 Limerick families to continue to receive vital care and support from the Foundation. Among the artists to have lent their skills and talents this year are Alison Barry from Kildimo, Assumpta Wallace from Raheen, Kay Liston from Athea, Denise Coppola from Gouldavoher, and Catherine Walsh from Clarina.

At a cost of €70 each, there are 1,750 postcard-size artworks up for grabs in the incognito online art sale at www.incognito.ie, where the collection can now be viewed. Watercolours, oils, pastels, acrylics, stained glass and textiles, are among the mediums employed by the artists across the collection.

The sale gets underway on Wednesday, April 16, from 8am. For those who like to see their art up close and personal, hundreds more postcard artworks will be on display at the incognito Gallery Sale in Charlemont Square, Dublin 2. The collection can be previewed on Wednesday and Thursday, April 9 and 10, with the Gallery Sale itself taking place on Friday and Saturday, April 11 and 12.

2025 marks the ninth year of the art sale, which, to date, has raised over €1.2 million in funds to support vital in-home nursing and respite care.

For Deirdre Walsh, CEO of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, each artwork sold will make a meaningful difference: “Ultimately, its Jack and Jill families who will benefit from this novel art sale and I cannot thank the art community enough for their incredible support. With incognito, people are not only buying an original piece of art that they love, but for each artwork purchased they are also making a much-needed donation of €70 to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.”
