The AFC's mission is "to protect LGBTQ youth from the harm of homelessness, and to support them in becoming safe and independent as they move from adolescence to adulthood.

New York City can be a brutal place for homeless youth and tragically, many young lives have been destroyed. At AFC, we are making a difference by rescuing kids from the dangers of the streets and placing them into our safe, homelike environments.AFC is working hard to provide our youth with the support and nourishment they need to succeed and thrive. We cannot do this work alone. We need the help and support of the broader community to make NYC a safer place for homeless LGBT youth."

visual aids: postcards from the edge


I have a piece in this benefit show of 1500 postcard size pieces of art. All displayed anonymously. Once you purchase a piece, you will be given the artist's name and information.

Hoping that mine is sandwiched in between, Yoko Ono's, Robert Langdon's, Terence Koh's and Robert Greco's!!!!

A Benefit for Visual AIDS

Hosted by Cheim & Read, 547 W 25th St, New York

Postcards From the Edge is a Visual AIDS benefit show and sale of original, postcard-sized works on paper by established and emerging artists. All works are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The works are signed on the back and exhibited so the artists' signatures cannot be seen. While buyers receive a list of all participating artists, they don't know who created which piece until purchased. All proceeds support the programs of Visual AIDS.

Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving the legacy -- because AIDS IS NOT OVER!

PREVIEW PARTY
Friday, January 6, 2012 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Sneak Peek: The only opportunity to see the entire exhibition. No sales.

picky me

Man walks into a gallery. Eyes up a piece of art that he MUST have. The kind Gallery folk inform him that it has already been sold. He comes back months later inquiring about new work by that artist that he liked. Gallery contacts the artist. Artist brings in a new piece of work. The Gallery elves then email the fan with the news. Not even 24 hours later he races in and buys the piece of art. I am that artist. This is the piece. Man----unknown.
