New York City’s artistic community has come together to raise funds for Haitian emergency relief through hundreds of concerts, comedy shows, art auctions, and other gatherings. On January 28, Shelter Island’s boltax.gallery will be holding a benefit at the exclusive Norwood Club, with all proceeds going to Partners in Health. More than two dozen artists, including Mary Larsen, Edouard Steinhauer, Charlotta Janssen, Juan Torcoletti, Sylvia Hommert, Andrew Nash, and Pilar Olaverri, will be selling their work, which is also available in an online auction through 3:00 prior to Thursday’s event, which begins at 6:30 with cocktails and a preview, followed by the live auction at 7:45 held in the historic Chelsea building that dates from 1847. Even if you can’t make it, you can buy a paddle for $100 to donate to the cause. Among our favorite pieces are Monica Rezman’s photograph “Child’s Play,” John Abrams’s “Guggenheim,” Louise Crandall’s “Infrared,” and Nuala Clarke’s “An Droichead (The Bridge),” all part of a collection of work that the gallery hopes will raise upwards of $100,000 for the devastated country.
