Wishful Thinkers 2009 Benefit

The event included an exceptional portrait series of inspirational women, photographed by Viki Forshee. Prints were for sale and donations were taken on behalf of International Community Assistance. Everything looked great at Milk as usual, so I snapped a few pictures of the installation.

The long wall wasn't a long haul.

Stoked benefit at Open House on Mullberry

Wall-Smart hung a benefit auction for Stoked last night. Stoked teaches action board sports to underprivileged kids to help them set and achieve goals while staying school. This year's benefit event was the first to take place in SoHo. Judging by attendance, things looked extremely successful.

The artwork was varied, as much as I hate animal art I thought the anthropomorphism of zoo animals were pretty well done digitally.
