'Art Integrates Us’ Auction, Kogart House Budapest, 21 November
Art Integrates Us’ – under this emblematic title, DOWN Association opens a collection of 23 paintings for the public in KOGART House, on Wednesday evening, at 18:30, 21st November, 2012. It is a contemporary painting auction and gala dinner for charity, to support early intervention for children with Down Syndrome.

The patron and the honored guest of the evening is Mr. Gábor Kovács.

Vígszínház became the cradle of integration on the International World Down Syndrome Day, 21st March, 2011. Contemporary artists (István ef. Zámbó, András Wahorn, József Tóth, Bíbor Timkó, Éva Bubla, Judit Horváth, Gábor Szabó) were surrounded by young, enthusiastic children with Down Syndrome and their many healthy mates.

On this remarkable day, they were painting together.

7 other own paintings are offered by the painters to the organizer DOWN Association, for the charity event. CATALOG
One of the most important missions of the Association is the early integration of all disabled children among their healthy fellows.

The funds from the auction will be spent on therapies used in Csodavár Early Intervention Center. The sooner they get special intervention treatments, the better chances they may meet to live independent life.
