Facility.

One large scale fine art print of his iconic Emory Porsche
356 chassis photograph will be sold with proceeds to go to UNICEF UK and

Gordon Glick, Deputy Executive Director, Partnerships and
Philanthropy, UNICEF UK said:

“We are delighted that Bart Kuykens and Sleeping with Art
have chosen to raise funds for UNICEF UK. The Covid-19 pandemic is the biggest
and most urgent global crisis that children have faced since World War Two. The
world will only begin to recover from the pandemic when people in lower-income
countries have access to vaccines, tests and treatments. UNICEF is ensuring
that no one is left and is on a mission to deliver 2 billion vaccines around
the world this year. Funds raised will protect those most at-risk, help
struggling health services get back on their feet and ensure that millions of
children can go back to school.”

Multi-million pound cars will be displayed among works of
art showcased throughout the grounds of Lemore Estate and in private and public
rooms.

Sleeping with Art is a yearly event uniting cars and art, it
gives the opportunity to automotive brands and artists to showcase their work
to a select audience of art and car buyers and enthusiasts.  

The event concept was created by Renata Fernandes from Five
Star Trilogy in collaboration with John Cotton and Servanne Sohier from Art in
Agency and Jack Traquair from Traquair Acquisitions. Sleeping with Art is

Coffee & Co, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky, Jaguar
