Upcoming natty art doings...

This Thursday, October 29, Natalie will be participating in an exquisite corpse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse) in honor of Halloween. This live drawing event will take place at the Dead Celebrity Ball at St. Luke's Theater, 308 W. 46th Street from 8-1 am and will feature a special performance by Julie Brown (Just Say Julie!) and open bar. Tickets to this benefit ball are $21.50 in advance, $30.

The following Tuesday, November 3, Natalie will once again be participating in the annual SAWCC benefit auction. She has donated her piece Big Mouth for this event. If you'd like to be the proud owner of Big Mouth (and would like to check out some other killer art, too) stop by this auction and bid!

Great results!

Just received this note from SAWCC about the auction I participated in. It sounds like it was a success! And, check out their upcoming events, too.

"On behalf of SAWCC's board members, I would like to thank you once again for your participation in the 2008 SAWCC Art Auction Benefit. Thanks to the generosity and support of donors such as yourself, the benefit was a tremendous success, with over 150 attendees and nearly $15,000 raised for the organization. With these funds, SAWCC will be able to continue to carry out our mission for the advancement, visibility, and development of emerging and establishing South Asian Women artists. In fact, we already have several events planned for 2009 that will benefit from this year's fundraiser, including:

• January – SAWCC LitFest, with featured guest Jhumpa Lahiri
• February – CLAGS workshop at the New Schoool
• August – SAWCC Visual Arts Show

Please visit www.sawcc.org for more details on these and other SAWCC programs. "
