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. "

Banksy's Little Pet Shop
Check this out...

...preferably in person if you have the opportunity!
We strolled by this recently and it spawned a huge debate as to whether it was an actual pet shop or a bodega with such crazy odd windows (we just strolled by and glimpsed at the windows briefly and didn't go inside). Looks like we were both wrong!
Banksy suddenly in New York, I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Oh and by the way...
PS. For those not in the know, I just got married! This is why there has been a great lack of natty art activity over the past few months. But I promise lots of new paintings soon!
Last Exit
The Last Exit show will be hung next week! I'm frantically finishing up my series of "NYC Horrors" paintings. It will be up for viewing on October 22! I think an official opening will be had eventually. But we have yet to schedule the event. Stay tuned for more information!

Gilbert & George
The Gilbert and George exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum is positively amazing. Granted, I'm a huge fan of their work. But it's wonderful to see so many pieces of their almost 40 year career all in one place. And seeing their gigantic graphic and vividly colored works looming large above you in one room? Just absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.
I honestly cannot recommend this show enough. It's up until January 11.

Upcoming shows
I have two shows coming up!
The first is a group exhibit in cahoots with Contempt's 10th Anniversary party. The event will take place on September 20 at Bar M15 (Walker St. Btwn Broadway and Church, NYC). Other artists exhibiting that night include: Chris Conte, Dan Ouellette, Paul Komoda, Carrie Ann Baade, Louis Guidone, William Welles, John Kolbek, Alain Leriche, Danielle Ezzo, Laura McCutchan, Talissa Mehringer, and Lark Davis. Not to mention that there will be a whole Black & White themed ball occurring as well. So deck yourself out, come look at some art, and stick around to dance the night away!
The second show will happen in mid to late October and will be a solo show at Last Exit on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. To coincide with Halloween, I'm going to be prepping a "New York City HORRORS" show. Think things that truly scare NYs to the bone (roach infestations, crazy cab drivers, etc.) I'm really excited to get started on these pieces! I think it's going to be a lot of fun to work on. And I'm planning on stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new sizes and different media.
Also in the works, a possible video feature on vimby.com.
More details on all things natty art to follow...stay tuned!
