According to their
website,
the New York Foundation for the Arts "mission
is to empower artists at critical stages in their
creative lives." On May 4th, the Foundation
hosted an auction selling art pieces from over
one hundred artists. Even in these hard economic
times, the event was filled with art lovers. Many
of the women were dressed in bright summer hues,
some with fun hats made from arts supplies from
the gallery walls. It was fun, it was cheerful,
it was art.
