Tipperary artists are supporting this year’s Incognito art sale in aid of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. A total of 26 artists from the county are donating original art works for the sale where the items are purchased before the artist is revealed.
Jack and Jill currently provides nursing care and respite support to 420 families across Ireland caring for children, up to the age of six, with severe learning disabilities often associated with complex medical needs. Nine of these families are based in county Tipperary.
Jack and Jill’s service operates seven days a week, with no means test, no red tape and no waiting list – the HSE provides 21.5% of the annual cost of operating which is €7.9 million.
Artists such as Carol Moloney from Tipperary town, Gillian Gubbins from Cashel, Jacqueline Gartlan from Clonmel and Marie Therese Walker from Nenagh along with a number of celebrity artists have donated postcard size creations all of which sell for the same price
Celebrities such as fashion designers Don O’Neill, Simone Rocha, singer-songwriter Róisín Murphy, TV cook Donal Skehan, Olympian Sonia O’Sullivan, broadcaster Joe Duffy, and well-known professional artists Maser, William Murray and Thelma Mansfield also donated pieces.
The sale gets underway on Wednesday, April 16, from 8am and those interested in purchasing a piece are advised to register in advance of the online sale which usually sells out very quickly. 2025 marks the ninth year of the incognito art sale, which to date has raised over €1.2 million in funds to support vital in-home nursing and respite care provided by the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation.
