Live Painting for Charity
AAAFRESH123 is a Rotterdam-based artist collective consisting of Hans Kleinjan, Maikel Kleinjan and Roderik Faasen. At galas and benefit evenings the three artists paint live on a single canvas. The work is then auctioned or sold in support of the charity.
How it works
For charities, AAAFRESH123 does not charge a fee for the live painting itself. How the proceeds of the work are shared, or a purchase price, is agreed in advance. After an event, a share of later sales can also go to the charity, for example through a temporary selection in the shop.

Contact Lisa de Lege to discuss the event and the space.
-
The arrangements for the work are set out in writing before the event.
-
During the evening, Hans, Maikel en Roderik paint together on one canvas.
-
The work is auctioned or sold for the charity. An existing work can also be entered as an auction lot.
