Pigs on Parade Fundraiser for the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation
We’d love you to get involved. This Autumn, the Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation would like to supply you with a fibreglass sculpture of a pig. It will be 1.1m long, 610mm high and 410mm wide. It’s yours to transform into a unique work of art in time go on display around Dublin in early 2015 as part of Pigs on Parade, a celebration of our public space and a much needed fundraiser for Jack & Jill. What would you make of one of our pigs? For an invitation to participate, email your name and contacts to pigparade@jackandjill.ie or contact Dave Southern on 087 923 9187.
During the latter part of 2014 we are looking to supply you with a ‘cheeky’ little Pig sculpture made from fibreglass (1.1m long, 610mm high and 410mm wide). We would be delighted if you would like to be involved with this charity fundraising event and to consider painting and/or decorating one of these specially designed Pigs. After Christmas this year and going into 2015 your completed Pig would then go on parade at a designated public accessible location in the Dublin area.
Once in place the general public will be invited to partake in the country’s largest ever “Pig Hunt”, where families and members of the public will pick up clues which in turn will lead them to the location of more Pigs.
The hunt will culminate in an on-line auction, where people will have the opportunity to bid on a Pig that they would like to take ownership of. An additional live auction will take place at a Gala Dinner event. As a participating Artist we will give you a budget of €100 to cover the cost of paint, brushes and consumables. The artist will also have the option to receive a 10% commission from the gross auction fee that their Pig realises.
