Il Ponte Casa d’Aste is pleased to announce its collaboration in the fourth edition of Good StArt, the charity auction of contemporary art in support of Fondazione TOG, scheduled for Thursday, 23 October, from 6 p.m.
Founded nearly 15 years ago, TOG aims to provide free rehabilitative care to children affected by complex neurological conditions.
The thirty-six works donated by artists and galleries – with the invaluable support of an exceptional technical committee – will be presented to the public starting Tuesday, 14 October, during the opening evening of the exhibition, which will remain open by appointment until Wednesday, 22 October.
The opening event, exhibition, and auction will all take place at the TOG Centre, Via Livigno 1, Milan – a leading facility for the rehabilitation of children with severe neurological conditions, but also an open, community-oriented space in constant dialogue with its surroundings.
Inaugurated two years ago, the Centre replaced the previous premises in Via Famagosta, expanding both its capacity and services. Within this large, technologically advanced hub, families can access comprehensive, free support, including highly specialised medical and rehabilitative care, educational assistance throughout schooling, and – for older children – preparation for professional and independent life.
It is, above all, a place of care, where TOG offers personalised rehabilitation programmes “aimed at helping children with brain injuries express their full potential and live the best life possible. This belief underpins our entire approach: to imagine the very best for each child, despite the challenges of their condition, and to do so in a place that is beautiful, colourful, and carefully designed – because beauty itself is a sign of care and attention,” explains Antonia Madella Noja, Secretary General of the Foundation.
This project will therefore provide an opportunity to strengthen the bond between art and care, while actively supporting the rehabilitation journeys of TOG’s children and young people.
