Currently, an online charity auction with 149 works in support of the one world foundation school in Sri Lanka is taking place at the Dorotheum Vienna until 26 March 2026 at 5:00 PM:
You are invited to an aperitif on Monday, 23 March 2026 at 6:00 PM at Galerie Krinzinger, Schottenfeldgasse 45, 1070 Vienna – all works can be viewed on site. RSVP at benefizauktion@galerie-krinzinger.at
The war in the Middle East and Near East affects us greatly. Bookings at the Ayurveda Guesthouse are being cancelled, many guests are uncertain, and trips to Sri Lanka are being postponed or cancelled at short notice. As a result, the Guesthouse will likely only contribute a small amount or nothing at all to the financing of the school in 2026. At the same time, extreme weather events pose a major challenge: floods and heavy rain have caused significant damage to infrastructure. Classrooms and key school facilities urgently need to be repaired.
The charity auction is organised in cooperation with Galerie Krinzinger and the artist Eva Schlegel, under the honorary patronage of Irmgard Griss. 100% of the proceeds go to the one world foundation.
