From 10 to 17 November, the Royal Talens Foundation will host an online art auction featuring artworks donated by seventeen artists. We support multiple non-profit organisations working on projects aimed at bringing a small moment of joy and colour to children and young adults facing daily challenges, through the power of creative education. Multiple artists, due to personal connections with certain regions, have selected causes close to their heart, supporting organisations that are active in areas currently facing severe challenges. We want to emphasize that the Royal Talens Foundation stands in solidarity with all victims of conflict and supports organizations that provide critical aid when needed most. We believe that, even in challenging times, creative education can bring hope and colour to their futures.
