Munster Rugby players are supporting the province’s nominated charity, Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation, by adding their own original art to the annual public art initiative ‘Incognito’. The initiative sees postcard-sized original artwork made by acclaimed artists and public figures on sale for the same price of €50, with each sale funding 3 hours of home nursing support. Twenty-five members of the Munster squad have contributed to this year’s campaign, including Captain Peter O’Mahony, Billy Holland, Chris Farrell, Tadhg Beirne, Niall Scannell and Joey Carbery. Every original piece of art is sold on a first-come-first served basis raising money for vital home nursing care for children with life-limiting conditions. With every piece priced the same, the identity of the artist is only revealed after the piece of art has been bought and received. With 1,814 original art pieces in the collection, the players are in esteemed company with donations made by well-known artists and music stars including Robert Ballagh, Helen Steele, Bono, Bruce and Patti Springsteen, Maser, Alice Maher and Peter Curling. This fantastic initiative provides a unique opportunity to secure a beautiful piece of art, worth well in excess of the €50 price tag, while also supporting a great cause.
