Event information:
Marina and Danielle are planning a Jewish art auction cocktail party in early February for their organization, called Tsedek (www.tsedek.org) – that helps over 3,000 underprivileged Jewish children in Israel with after school programming, that includes art, music, mentorship, and much more. This will be an upscale event with over 200 art collectors, enthusiasts, gallery owners, press, and so forth from the New York area.
They will have food provided from top kosher restaurants, cocktails + wine, a DJ plus a live violinist, photographers, and so forth. In terms of venue, they are considering hosting the event at Verboten in Brooklyn, which was just rated one of the top clubs in America. They are also in talks with a new venue in Downtown Manhattan with 25 ft ceilings that has not yet opened to the general public, and would be perfect for this event.The event will begin with a silent auction in gallery type atmosphere, followed by a live auction.
They already have artists and galleries involved, such as Siona Benjamin and Unix Gallery. They are looking to feature about 20 or so prominent contemporary artists, and auction a range of pieces that go from about $1,000 to $15,000.
Each piece will be individually displayed to properly emphasize its details and unique flare.This is a great opportunity to promote your artwork to the New York Jewish art collector and enthusiast community at large.
Please contact Marina and Danielle at tsedek@ra-yon.com for more information.
