Art for a Good Cause — Opening Night

# 🎨 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.
