The Friends and Patrons of art KARLSRUHE is a support association founded in April 2023 by people interested in art.

The association promotes art and culture, especially within the framework of the annual art fair art KARLSRUHE, with the aim of introducing the general public to art and culture and intensifying their interest in it.

The association aims to secure important works of art offered at art KARLSRUHE for Karlsruhe and the state of Baden-Württemberg and to make them available to all art lovers as permanent loans to museums.

art KARLSRUHE Friends and Sponsors premiere a complete success: art auction secures five-figure sum for the Parkinson's Foundation

The Friends and Patrons of art KARLSRUHE invited visitors to their first charity art auction on Friday, 21 June 2024. Renowned galleries made works by their artists available for auction to raise money for a good cause.

The 50 artworks realised a proud total of 77,800.00 euros, 50% of which went to the artists and the remaining 50% directly to the Parkinson's Foundation.

Kristian Jarmuschek, Chairman of the Advisory Board of art KARLSRUHE, took on the role of auctioneer and with his dynamic, engaging and entertaining manner succeeded in raising many arms in the packed auction room.

Frank Elstner, who has been an ambassador for the Parkinson's Foundation for several years, was more than pleased with the successful evening, which he accompanied on site: "Being here today is a very special occasion for me and a wonderful combination," he says. "This event brings people interested in art to an auction in the hope that a lot of money will be raised to support research and science that cannot yet cure Parkinson's, but is well on the way to treating it in the next few years."
