Each postcard-sized painting, priced at €70, will be available for purchase in person on April 11 and 12 and online on April 16, with all proceeds going to the Jack and Jill Children's Foundation.
The incognito Art Sale is set to return for its 2025 edition for a Gallery Sale in Dublin’s Charlemont Square on April 11 and 12 as well as an Online Sale on April 16.
All proceeds will go to Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, which provide vital in-home nursing and respite care to 420 families caring for children, up to the age of six, with severe learning disability often associated with complex medical needs, in communities across Ireland.
This will mark the 9th edition of the Art Sale, where the buyer has no idea who the artist behind the more than 3,500 artworks is until the sale is over. Artists will be revealed on April 17.
Each postcard-size artwork costs €70 and it will be a case of first-come, first-served, for the Gallery Sale, and fastest-finger-first for the Online Sale. Each customer is allowed to purchase only one item per transaction.
Over the course of its existence, incognito has raised over €1.2 million and attracted the support of such legends as Bruce Springsteen, Bono, The Edge, Ronnie Wood, Sir Bob Geldof, Tracey Emin and Philip Treacy.

For incognito curator Lucinda Hall, this year’s hybrid art sale in both the virtual and real worlds will delight both artists and buyers alike: “With more postcards in our collection than ever before, we are so excited to go hybrid for incognito 2025! We’re thrilled with the success of incognito online over recent years, bringing incognito to new audiences at home and abroad, but the heart of incognito has always been in the gallery.
“People love to see the art up close and personal, and there is no better feeling for an artist than to have their art on display in a gallery in the company of their peers and artistic idols!”
Deirdre Walsh, CEO of the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation, explains that each artwork sold will make a meaningful difference for Jack and Jill families: “Ultimately, it's Jack and Jill families who will benefit from this novel art sale. With incognito, people are not only buying an original piece of art that they love, but for each artwork purchased they are also making a much-needed donation of €70 to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation to fund vital in-home nursing and respite care for children across the nation, and that is truly priceless."
The incognito artworks will be available for preview from March 19 at www.incognito.ie
