The remaining eleven pieces were created by children in remission in an art studio generously donated by Les Ateliers du Carrousel located in the heart of Paris' art mecca at the renowned Palais du Louvre.
The collection was displayed at Les Arts Décoratifs, Hall des Marechaux, Palais du Louvre in May 2007. Following the exhibition, the collection was auctioned by Christie’s Paris during a dinner gala.
The auction of the artwork raised over $350,000USD for the children of Les P’tits Cracks.
This adventure allowed the children to project onto canvasses their lives, their dreams and their fears. It also gave the children a chance to fight for their cause, by empowering them through the auction proceeds, to help other children dealing with cancer.
