It gives me great pleasure to announce that for their fall benefit this year, NURTUREart is honoring yours truly and Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. I am extremely touched–if not surprised–at this notification.

NURTUREart will be holding their benefit at the ZieherSmith gallery in Chelsea on October 12, at 7pm. If you’re an artist, you may also submit an artwork for consideration for their exhibition and sale (Deadline is Sept. 3, 2010). This year’s exhibition curators are Dan Cameron, Ceci Moss, Jane Panetta, and Krista Saunders.  I really hope
