The week before Christmas, on December 18th, Helac and Wirth Art Advisory, inconjunction with Kitchen Habitat, presented the first of a series of “New Boom Collective” art shows. There were 20 emerging artists with works ranging in price from $450 to $10,000, and works in all kinds of mediums such as sculpture, paintings, collage, photography, video, drawings and even textiles.
H & W are partnering with brokers and organizing shows throughout Manhattan's vacant spaces. They will also be partnering with non-profit organizations to whom they will donate a large percentage of art sale proceeds. Fifty percent of the proceeds from this show were donated to the Food Bank of New York City. |
 |
More than 300 people stopped by over the course of the evening. |
