Honorary New Yorker, Jon Burgerman, and Jim Avignon have three collaborative pieces in “Street Art New York, ” a silent auction benefit for Free Arts NYC. The event takes place Saturday, April 24th from 7-11PM with the auction beginning promptly at 7PM EST.
To celebrate the release of the new book “Street Art New York” and to benefit the programs of Free Arts NYC, original artworks by a stellar array of today’s Street Artists from New York and beyond will be featured in a silent auction to take place on April 24, 2010, from 7 pm to 9:30 pm at Factory Fresh Gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
The Benefit, to be held at one of New York’s epicenters for the thriving new Street Art scene, Factory Fresh Gallery, will feature an incredibly strong selection of today’s Street Artists joining together for one night as a community to benefit NYC kids from disadvantaged backgrounds as the numbers of poor and low-income children in New York continues to rise.
