The Re*Generation Gallery 2007 Auction and Benefit, hosted by Virgin Mobile, will be a night of art, dinner and music as works by 21 internationally reknowned artists will be on display for the live auction.
The 3 hour event is being held to raise awareness and support for the issue of youth homelessness in America during November’s National Homeless Youth Awareness Month as recognized by Congress. Participating artists, including Diane Barcelowsky, Thomas Campbell, Clayton Brothers, Daniel Davidson, Greg Lamarche, Julia Marchand, Antonio Sanchez, Eric White and many others, were asked to create his or her own depiction of what it means to be homeless upon a 24” x 24” panel of wood. The outcome is a diverse collection of imagery and colors that parallel the youth individuals that fall victim.
Special performance by LCD Soundsystem founder, James Murphy who will co-host the event.
Wednesday, November 7, 2007. 7:00-11:00 pm at Skylight Studios, 275 Hudson Street.(between Spring and Canal)
