About us
"Friday Evening Party for a Good Cause" is a group dedicated to organising fundraising events that bring people together for a meaningful purpose.
The goals of these events are to gather many artists with different backgrounds — painters, designers, stylists, musicians, writers, photographers, and more — and raise money for vulnerable people, especially children in need.
Whether we act locally or cross-border in African countries, Friday evenings combines art, music, community and generosity to make a real difference for those who need it most.

Art for a Good Cause — Opening Night
VirtualPalace, Rue Royale 290, 1210 Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium, Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, BE# 🎨 Art for a Good Cause — Opening Night ✨
🔗 artforagoodcause.be - for registration!
Painting, fashion and music come together for one unforgettable evening — and every piece sold helps children in Africa. 💛
Join us for the very first evening of the Art for a Good Cause foundation, launched by Régine Kanoneka. For one night only, The Virtual Palace — a 19th-century mansion in the heart of Brussels 🏛️ — becomes a gallery: Brussels painters exhibit their work, local designers take you through a fashion show 🎀, and live music fills the period rooms 🎶.
❤️ All funds raised on the evening — auction and donations — are passed on in full to the non-profit IYEDA for its project “From the street to independence” in Bangui, guiding children living on the street towards safety, training and lasting independence.
