For the benefit of innocent victims of inhuman wars
Little Way…
…in support ofHospital in Congo and SOS Christians of the Orient
Become the happy guardian of an Icon
Or
When Grace walks…
Here's how!
This project, which began in December 2024, has only two completed icons so far; it will expand as more are produced.
A third icon is being written.
Accompanying the icon
The custodian of the icon will be given a small file detailing the various stages of the creation of the icon, as well as a certificate of authenticity. Since an icon is always anonymous, a certificate of authenticity may be useful in the event of an inheritance or transfer (donation or sale) of the work to a third party.
Direct Acquisition or “Plural” Participation
The icon can be acquired either by paying the amount in one go or by participating in a “multiple” sale.
- Direct purchase : By transferring the total amount of the icon to Atelier Petite Voie*. This amount will be donated in full to the association and/or project mentioned above. Other SAFE associations/projects are planned for the future.
- Multiple acquisition : By purchasing entry forms for the icon draw. Each €10.00 tranche entitles you to one entry form (e.g. €50.00 = 5 entries). To purchase, click here.
The sale closes either when the total amount of the icon is reached or after 6 months from the date of listing. A tracking of the payment movement is available on the "Tracking" page of the site. When the total amount has been reached, the lucky recipient is then drawn at the Saint Nicolas church in Durbuy in the presence of deacon Julien Thiry, the artist Anne Ginetti and all those who would like to attend this drawing.
If the amount has not been reached, the icon in question is temporarily withdrawn from sale. Payments from potential buyers, however, remain "active" for another 6 months for the next icon from the date it is put on sale. After this period, all payments will be considered free donations and will be automatically transferred to one of the aforementioned projects. A small portion may be used to purchase materials necessary for the creations (Gold, Pigments, Board). These possible purchases will be mentioned in the donation movement tracking.
