Numero Thailand Unites Art and Music Lovers to Support Parkinson's Patients
Numero Thailand, a licensed media from France, led by Amornsiri Boonyasit, in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA Bangkok), MP Group (Thailand), and the Thaised Foundation, organized a charity art and music event celebrating the 12th anniversary of Numero Thailand. The event, titled "Numero Thailand 12th Anniversary: Music at the Museum," aimed to raise funds through the event and the auction of paintings created by Parkinson's patients, with the proceeds donated to Chulalongkorn Hospital to support Parkinson's patients.
The event showcased 26 paintings by members of the Parkinson's Friends Club. Among the highlights was the artwork titled "Imperfect Equals Perfect" by Vimon Wannapahun, depicting rabbits in a garden, some perfect and others imperfect, symbolizing how no one is perfect, but we can still find happiness in our way. This piece fetched the highest bid of 100,000 baht, acquired by Panadcha Thaised, Chairman of the Thaised Foundation. Five additional artworks were sold for 30,000 baht each, and charity T-shirts featuring the artwork "Fighting" by Benjamas Nitikijpaiboon were also sold.
Another notable artist, Ekachai Prongpanyasakul, a former nuclear engineer at the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, created "Differentiate" which depicts various flowers representing the beauty of different social classes coexisting harmoniously. Ekachai shared, "Colors give us energy and happiness. Painting is a form of therapy for depression and helps train fine motor skills." This artwork also captured Panadcha Thaised's attention.
The event featured booths by MP Group (Thailand), experts in gene testing through Genechecks, and beauty products Glass Skin. Attendees enjoyed music from high-quality Bang & Olufsen sound systems, fine food specially crafted for the event by Pumpui, and beverages from Boon Rawd Brewery.
Guests were also treated to a beautiful ballet performance by Dance Plus, and the event concluded with a powerful musical performance by the band B5, ensuring that all attendees were left with a deep sense of joy from the art, music, and merit.
