The Love & Art Children’s Foundation, Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund and Christie's Los Angeles joined together in 2007 to bring Love & Art's unique program to a group of children in Los Angeles.

For more than six months, Love & Art worked with 24 children (6-13 years old) from Hollygrove EMQ, a children and family services agency in Los Angeles that provides at-risk children with vital mental health services and enrichment programs.

"Believe me. an hour dedicated to a child brings one more happiness than a month of Sundays
and will make their lives more meaningful, as it has mine."
Audrey Hepburn

SHINE by Kevin M. (age 9)

The resulting collection, entitled Enchanted..., was created one day at a time, one child at a time. This individual support and encouragement allow the children to develop inspiration, explore their innate artistic talent and better understand themselves through non-threatening creative expression.
The Enchanted collection opened with a special preview event at Christie’s Los Angeles, on September 8, 2008 and was on exhibit for a week. On October 2, 2008, a dinner gala and auction of the Enchanted collection was held at Paramount Pictures. The art auction was conducted by Christie's. Over $250,000 was raised from the Enchanted art auction. All of the auction proceeds went directly to Hollygrove to enhance and support its art therapy and enrichment programs.
