The Chernobyl Children's Secret Art Campaign is an exhibition of work
by national and international celebrities as well as students from the
prestigious art college NCAD. The launch took place at The RHA Gallery in
Ely Place Dublin, with the show running from November 21st -25th 2012.
All artists were given paintings materials and a board and were let
loose to be as creative and innovative as they could, with one catch - the
front of the art must remain anonymous. Famous
celebrities and artists include; international designer John Rocha, REM singer
Michael Stipe, Spice Girl Mel C, renowned artist Guggi, chart-topper Ed
Sheeran and Red Hot Chilli Pepper drummer Chad Smith …. to name but a few!
The exhibition will begin on Wednesday November 21st when there will be
a big gallery opening. This will be attended by some of the celebrity artists
and all of the invite-only guests will have an exclusive opportunity to view
paintings and have the chance to purchase. All pictures will retail at the same
price of €150 and lucky buyers may either get a celebrity picture or an art
students or a famous artist’s painting – luck of the draw!
