The outcome will then be auctioned by Hôtel des Ventes de Monte-Carlo to support meaningful projects on Nature conservation by Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and S.P.A. association whose purpose is to find a safe space to abandoned and homeless animals.
The event, under the patronage of Direction des Affaires Culturelles (Department of Cultural Affairs at Prince's Government), will be particular iconic for the the presence of prominent artistis coming from Argentina, Canada, France, Italy, Monaco, Netherlands, Spain.
