SumGood is set to return with their innovative art auction this April!

Irish non profit SumGood is back with its Annual Contemporary Art Auction taking place on Wednesday the 9th of April in The Copperhouse Gallery in support of The KickStart Kitchen.

SumGood’s inaugural programme - The KickStart Kitchen - aims to change the lives of those facing a barrier to employment, by offering free professional chef training and recruitment services to anyone who needs a second chance, or who simply want to kick start their career in a kitchen but are coming up against red tape or a lack of qualifications. The programme aims to help those in Direct Provision, those who left school early, those exiting homelessness services, ex-offenders etc.

The money raised from the auction will help to further grow and support this programme.

There will be over 100 artists involved over the evening, including some of Ireland’s favourite artists, such as:

Solus, Atmos, Eamon Colman, Margo Banks, David Booth, Corrina Earlie, Lola Donoghue, Leo Boyd, Adrian+Shane, Morgan, Niall Cullen, Anna Matykiewicz, Nick Munier, Neil Dunne, Katarzyna Gajewska, Conor Nolan, Gavin O’Brien, Mick Minogue, Padraig McCaul, Miriam Fitzgerald Juskova, Kathrine Geoghegan, Kata Kukla, Esko, Adrienne M. Finnerty, Cormac O’Leary, Neil J. Smith, Samuel Walsh, Sketchy and literally too many more incredible artists to list.
