Madagasc’art, the charity auction organized by the 1st-year Art Market students, was a success on June 6.
More than 300 people attended the sale in the theater of the Fondation Alliance Française.
The sale was led with great talent and humor by Maître Rémy le Fur, auctioneer, thanks to him and to the generosity of the bidders. The total amount of the sale reached €36,750.
The entire sum will allow the association Children of the Sun to fund two years of the "French for All" program, thus guaranteeing hundreds of children the chance to integrate into society.
This sale was a success thanks to the generosity of the artists and the Fondation Alliance Française, as well as the support of Christian Requillart, a member of the association Children of the Sun, and Véronique Mesnager, the event’s patron.
As future art market professionals, the students were able, through this project, to put their Bachelor in Art Appraisal and Art Trade training into practice, gain a concrete understanding of how an auction is set up, and help street children in Madagascar.
