Hi Everyone, A benefit is being organized by Crane Street Studio (LIC) and other artists to help Nicole Gagne, a tenant at Crane Street Studios who was in a devastating accident there in April. The exhibit and sale will be will be held at Priska Juschka Fine Art in Chelsea on July 30, 2009 from 5:30 to 9:30 pm. Kindly consider donating a 6" x 4" artwork on paper to this worthy cause. I forward the "Call to Artists" below, where you can also find details about how to submit work. My apologies for the lateness of this request (artwork is due July 23rd), but I've been out of the country on a residency for 2 months and just returned. The good news is that Nicole is home, and though she has much rehabilitation ahead, her condition continues to improve. She is a lovely, strong-spirited woman, who always helped organize the Crane Street Open Studios and other community events. If you can submit a piece, confirm this at the e-mail address listed in the call and your name will be included on the benefit website. In any case, please save the date July 30th and plan to attend. My apologies to those for whom this is a repeat message. Thank you and regards to all, Joan
Benefit for Nicole: A Postcard Show Call To Artists! In April 2009 an exterior staircase collapsed at Crane Street Studios, a large building housing work studios for over 200 artists and artisans in Long Island City (Queens), New York City. Nicole Gagne, a tenant in the building, was seriously injured in the accident. This show is being held to raise funds to help with her immediate expenses. This will be a 1-day event, a combined opening and sale. All works will be donated pieces that are original artworks (any media) on 4" x 6" paper. All works will be sold for $40 cash. All proceeds will go to Nicole.
