This past Monday night NURTUREart held their annual benefit, where a varied mix of painting, sculpture, collage and drawings covered the walls, and collectors and critics mixed with teenagers with art school ambitions. Held in the Bernaducci Meisel Gallery in Midtown, NURTUREart’s benefit displayed work chosen from an open call, with ticket holders allowed to select a piece to take home. The Bushwick institution, housed at 56 Bogart, supports emerging artists by providing exhibition space and resources, as well as operating after-school art programs at schools in Brooklyn.
