We have been keeping on the down low for the past few weeks. Taking time to re-coop and replenish after a successful “Island” exhibition at Hangtough Contemporary in Dublin. The auction went off well and we managed to raise over €80K for the Peter McVerry Trust.

A testament to what can be achieved when people come together with a common purpose. We were thrilled with the results and are feeling incredibly grateful to all those who helped us out along the way.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to all of the artists involved who gave generously of their time and skills, to Whyte’s Auctioneers who waived all fees for the charitable auction, to Rubio at Hangtough, to John at Culturehead PR who helped us get the word out and John at TrueOutput: who helped with auction links and website tech.

We also managed to raise some much needed funds to get our For the Birds project up and running. We’ve been researching, planning and getting ready to hit the ground running with this. More on this very soon.
