Remember the group fine art show I was bubbling about in September? I intro’d it here, updated the project here. In short, 50 fellow artists — some of the worlds best known photographers, street artists, fashion designers, painters, celebrities, sculptors and more — came together at the lofty Phillips de Pury gallery in NYC to raise money for charity…
This here video chronicles just a part of the story–the making of my piece (wish we were able to chronicle everyones!), the preview of the work, and the gala auction (sneak peeks of Sting and Serena Williams), in short, it’s everything we could muster capturing on video amidst all the hard work…notwithstanding the final, staggering result that we achieved together, raising more than $125,000 for Free Arts NYC. I’m proud and humbled. Hope you dig this and hope you can find a way to help one of your favorite non-profits with your art in the coming year.
