Charity Art Auction – in collaboration with UNHCR
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution. Formally known as the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR was established by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1950 in the aftermath of the Second World War to help the millions of people who had lost their homes. They lead international action to protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
Art Works is delighted to host a charity art auction on the evening of World Refugee Day on the 20th of June 2025, to raise much needed funds and awareness for UNHCR. Featuring some of Singapore’s most respected and exciting contemporary artists such as Andy Yang and Zhang Fuming as well as international artists Rizrizrizz, Danielle Solk and Sylvie Kettle, the auction will be conducted by Cassi Young, the Global Fine Art Director of Art Works, formerly of Bonhams and Christie’s.
