Young For A Good Cause was the first exhibition produced by what later became known as Young Art. The project is an art auction which was held for the first time in November 2009, together with Sweden’s largest auction house, Bukowskis. The purpose of Young Art For A Good Cause is to raise money for assorted charity projects and at the same time to raise awareness of young artists and also to help inspire more young people to purchase art. We call it win-win-win.
