It’s been revealed that 16 Kerry artists have generously donated their art for Incognito, Ireland’s biggest online art sale, in aid of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.

.

Among the local artists who have taken up their brushes for a great cause is Patricia de Jong from Killarney.

What’s different about the Incognito art sale is that buyers have absolutely no idea of the artists behind the artworks, until after the sale has closed.

Now in its eighth year, Incognito 2024 features the work of over 1,200 artists, with more than 3,300 original postcard-size artworks priced at €65, no matter who the artist is, on show at www.incognito.ie.

Buyers now have three weeks to peruse and pick their favourite pieces before the sale goes live on Wednesday, April 24.

Among the stars taking part in 2024 are iconic model and actress, Jerry Hall, comedian Colin Murphy, fashion designers Don O’Neill, Heidi Higgins, Helen Steele and Simone Rocha, milliner Philip Treacy, jewellery designer Chupi Sweetman, radio stars PJ Gallagher and Jim McCabe, singer Brian Kennedy, TV royalty Thelma Mansfield, and award-winning architect Hugh Wallace.

For Emily McCarthy, Jack and Jill Liaison Nurse Manager for Kerry, Incognito means that local families can continue to receive much-needed support.

“Monies raised from Incognito go to fund in-home nursing care hours, respite support and end-of-life care provided by the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation to 12 Kerry children from birth to six years of age. These include children with a range of highly complex medical conditions, whose parents are caring for them at home, where they belong. Jack and Jill is a lifeline for these families in offering mum or dad a break to spend time with their other children, run out for the messages, grab a coffee with a friend, or catch a nap, safe in the knowledge that their child’s complex medical needs are being looked after. We are privileged to be there, in the family home, and at the invitation of the parents, giving what support we can to these incredible families, who face such immense challenges with love, hope and courage.”
