Charity Night, Friday Night 10 September
On Friday September 10th, a Charity Night will be organized by the Open Art Fair in collaboration with Plan Nederland. The evening will be all about the campaign ‘Because I am a girl’ of Plan Nederland. With this campaign the charity contributes to the lives of young girls in developing countries. Many galleries donate an artwork, which will be raffled among the visitors of the evening. Last years lottery was hosted by famous Dutch painter Ans Markus and many guests went home with an unexpected and highly appreciated artwork. This year we expect the evening to be a great success again, for Plan Nederland as well as for the galleries at Open Art Fair.
