Occurring just before the festivities of Frieze week, Art of Wishes welcomed over 180 influential women to our biannual Charity Lunch; a fundraising effort that this year included an art raffle and a luxury auction, with prizes ranging from a shopping experience with Gucci to a hotel stay in Tel Aviv.

Guests were also treated to a live performance by singer Sarina Haggarty, who had just finished the UK leg of her European tour. A former wish child, Sarina whose dream ‘to perform one of her own songs at a Shawn Mendes concert’ became a reality in 2018. Now, Sarina tours the world, alongside continuing to work and raise funds for the Make-A-Wish foundation, to help countless other children like her.

Celebrating all these incredible women and their achievements made the lunch extremely successful, and the money raised will help grant over 70 wishes to children living with critical illnesses.
