ART FOR THE KIDS

We are so happy to share a wonderful cause that fills us with pride and satisfaction. Cartagena’s Casa 1537 played host to the first Art Auction for the Kids on October 11, to raise funds for the Pescador de Letras Foundation, in alliance with Galería Beta. A special thanks to the Ambassador of Netherlands Jeroen Roodenburg  and our hammer, Richard Launay.

All in all, 28 pieces of art from Colombian and international artists were up for sale, with 60% of those being sold. The buyers were handed a certificate of their donation by the foundation.

The Pescador de Letras Foundation aims to change the lives of 121 boys and girls in Cartagena’s La Boquilla neighborhood, through quality education and teaching important values, in order to improve their quality of life and their relationship with their surroundings.

And a few days ago, the artistic experience was extended to the capital, with Galería Beta, located in the Bogotá Art District, hosting a special showcase for Lure’s friends and family, which turned out to be a total success.

Thanks to the funds raised by the sold works of art, the kind donations of the artists, galleries and sponsors such as Casa 1537, El Barón, María, Donjuán and Congresscolombia.com, the boys and girls of the foundation will now enjoy access to a number of cultural and sporting activities.

Many thanks to everyone for being part of this noble cause.
