The cause
One fine day in Kibera
The most meaningful investment we can make is in future generations. This is the place that taught us that, and the reason every Art Initiatives auction exists.
The story
Long before our first auction in Ibiza, our founders spent years working on the development of Anno’s One Fine Day Arts Centre in Kibera, Nairobi, together with the One Fine Day and Anno’s One Fine Day organisations. The Centre gives children and young people a place to dance, paint, do gymnastics, play music and act, every day, led by local teachers.
What convinced us was watching what a daily practice of art does for a young person’s confidence. The Arts Centre shows how art becomes a powerful force for confidence, expression and long-term empowerment: not as a slogan, but in the posture of the kids walking out of a rehearsal.
Art Initiatives grew out of that experience. By raising funds and awareness through our exhibitions and benefit auctions, we are proud to support this ongoing work, and to keep building partnerships around creativity, education and opportunity for young people.
Daily life at the Centre
Dance, painting, gymnastics, music, martial arts: a normal week in Kibera.
Two causes, one constant
Every Art Initiatives auction supports two causes. One never changes: Anno’s One Fine Day in Kibera, Nairobi, the reason we exist, receives a share of every auction we hold.
The second is chosen afresh for each edition, and it is always here in the Balearic Islands, where the auction takes place. We look for work that is local, concrete and close to the people in the room. We may return to a cause we have supported before if we feel it is right, but it is a choice we make each year, not a rule.

- To be chosen
This year: Espais de Vida
For Negotiating Belonging, our 2026 auction, the Balearic cause is Espais de Vida, a citizen initiative that is creating a foundation to receive unused land, housing and buildings and turn them into social housing, regenerative agriculture and cultural projects. Belonging, after all, begins with having somewhere to be.
