MORE ABOUT ART FOR KIKA

In February 2016 Art for Refugees was a great success. Over 80 artists participated with their works. The exhibition lasted for 10 days and we raised € 5.100 for Syrian refugees. This time we want to do even better!

This year we are organising Art for KiKa and want to raise money for Children’s Cancer Research. Due to the success of last year’s event the duration of the exhibition will be extended to four weeks. Art for KiKa will take place on 27 January – 22 February 2017. This years exhibition contains work by 80 Dutch and International artists. 50% of the selling price is for KiKa, the other 50% for the artist. All work is signed on the back only. The gallery charges no commission.
Prices of the works vary from € 300,- to € 500,- !

Children cancer free (KiKa) Foundation was founded in 2002 by Frits Hirschstein and Maarten Saleem. The occasion was the request of Prof. Rob Pieters of the Sophia children’s Hospital in Rotterdam and Prof. Huib Caron of the Emma children’s Hospital in Amsterdam to see if there could be more money available for research into childhood cancer.
KiKa’s goal is to increase the chances to cure cancer to 95%. To achieve this, there is still a lot of costly research necessary.
Thanks to information from completed research, the specialists are convinced that we can develop new treatment options to cure child cancer more often and which are ‘ friendly ‘ to deal with. It is absolutely necessary to initiate innovative research, specifically aimed at children’s cancer.
KiKa raises funds for these special investigations, with which children can overcome their cancer.

Prof. Tom Voûte (pediatrician and Professor of paediatric Oncology) was Chairman of the Board and the advertising agency.
Prof. Dr. Tom Voûte was a gifted doctor who stood with heart and soul for the fight against child cancer. He was the founder of the children’s Oncology in Netherlands, founder of Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (SKK) and co-founder of KiKa. After his death in 2008 the Board of SKK decided to change the name to the Tom Voûte Fund.
To be able to fight against child cancer in the future with more commitment KiKa and the Tom Voûte Fund decided to join forces. Tom Voûte Fund is fully affiliated with KiKa.
