Art that moves - and helps!
Donation of €8,000 presented to "Zillertaler helfen Zillertalern"
Right after the holidays, on January 8th, a donation cheque worth €8,000 was presented to the organization "Zillertaler helfen Zillertalern" at the Alpine Hideaway ZILLERTALERHOF.
The considerable donation sum is made up of numerous voluntary contributions from visitors at the vernissage on December 12th, as well as the proceeds from a raffle for a unique art object: an e-mountain bike from NOX Cycles, specially designed for this purpose by artist Franz-Josef Perauer.
"Making art tangible – quite literally, with an e-mountain bike I designed myself – was an incredibly fascinating project. My heartfelt thanks go to NOX Cycles, who brought this project to life, as well as to all the visitors and supporters at the vernissage – and to my parents, Franz and Barbara Perauer, the delighted top bidders for this one-of-a-kind piece. It's a great pleasure to now be able to donate the fruits of this art project to a good cause," says Franz-Josef Perauer, delighted by the response.
NOX Cycles joins in the thanks and is pleased to have contributed to supporting people in need in the Zillertal region.
