The sale attracted interest from over 44,000 visitors to the site from Ireland and worldwide.

For Deirdre Walsh, CEO of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, Incognito is all about community and translating art into a currency for care: “We want to extend a sincere thank you to every single artist and art lover involved in making Incognito 2024 such a great success for the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. I hope those who were successful in securing a piece of art will enjoy it for many years to come and take pride in the fact that their contribution has helped towards providing more than 12,000 hours of in-home nursing care and respite support to over 400 families caring for children with complex medical needs across Ireland.”
