Outside The Box Art Auction

The ‘Outside The Box’ art auction in aid of the Scoop Foundation takes place at the RHA Gallery in Dublin on Tuesday March 28th.

Outside The Box is SCOOP’s latest art-driven fundraiser which will feature a live art auction in person and online featuring artworks from 120 of Ireland’s top street and contemporary artists.

Moving on from the pilot in November 2022 which featured 30 craft pizza box canvases, this year we’re adding a whole new range of quirky pieces. From painted skateboards, Sketcher sneakers, chairs, a vase, a tablecloth, photography, a tapestry and mirrors, there’s something for everyone.

Funds raised from Outside The Box will support the development and delivery of SCOOP’s specialised programmes that empower displaced and marginalised young people to fulfil their potential in Ireland and abroad, these include SCOOP Art, SCOOP Ed, SCOOP Kitchen, SCOOP Recruit and SCOOP’s emergency relief services.

Incognito 2018

We are delighted to announce that we're part of the ‘Incognito’ exhibition, Jack & Jill’s 2018 Public Art Project.

Over 1000 Irish and International artists have joined this initiative to paint, draw, photograph, etch, sew or create something on a postcard (150mm x 100mm), which will form the largest group exhibition held in Ireland this year. It will include work by Tracey Emin, John Kelly, Peter Curling, Martin Gale, Olivia Golden, P.J. Crook, Ed Miliano, Abigail O’Brien, and Richard Gorman – but all pieces are exhibited anonymously, and sold for €50 each to the first buyer present in person at the Solomon Gallery after 10am on Friday 6th April.

In 2017, this event raised €81,000 for the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation – but this year we undertake to solve the dilemma of the queue going all the way round the block on the sale days, by having two viewing days before the artworks go on sale.

INCOGNITO Exhibition

INCOGNITO is Jack & Jill’s 2017 public art project, featuring artwork by an eclectic range of talented Irish artists including Adrian+Shane.

This is an exhibition and sale of 1500 miniature pieces of artwork (postcard size) which will be displayed for sale in the Solomon Gallery in Dublin (beside the Westbury Hotel) from Friday 21st April to Tuesday 25th April.

Each piece will cost €50 but you won’t find out the name of the artist until you finalise the purchase of the piece. You might end up with something worth €10,000 or something that you love by a Sunday painter!

All funds raised from this campaign will help provide home nursing care for very sick babies nationwide.
