Provenance
Properties Cayman Islands hosted an online auction of art and luxury
home goods which raised $24,000+; funds were matched by R3 Cayman
Foundation.

Provenance
Properties recently hosted an online auction to raise funds for the
nonprofit organisation, Cayman’s Acts of Random Kindness. The
auction, which took place on 23 July 2020, was innovatively hosted
through an entirely digital platform.

As
the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in
the Cayman Islands, the auction evoked the spirit of the Christie’s
name as the world’s oldest auction house. Whilst it may not have
included the rare art, antiques and jewels that are featured in
global Christie’s auctions, it did feature works by Cayman artists,
staycations, gift certificates for local services and experiences and
luxury home goods.

The
auction raised over US$24,000, an amount matched by R3 Cayman
Foundation for a total amount raised of more than $48,000 in support
of ARK’s vital efforts to provide food relief to families in need.
R3 was established in May 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
and is committed to the sustainable future of the Cayman Islands
through assisting with readiness, relief and recovery in times of
crisis.

“We
were so impressed with the range of goods that were donated,” says
Sheline Chandi, senior marketing coordinator at Dart, who helped
organise the auction on behalf of Provenance Properties. “Over 100
items were donated and about 150 people took part in the bidding
process, which resulted in a meaningful and fun event for everyone.
It also provided a great outlet for home owners who had spent time
decluttering their space whilst sheltering in place.”

Chandi
notes the auction is set to become an annual event and one of several
ways that the brokerage will continue to support relief and recovery
efforts in the Cayman Islands
