As our coverage of the Making History Benefit raffle at Storefront Ten Eyck reveals, the event on May 10, 2015, was a huge success. On the night of the raffle, there was present a mix of artists, collectors, and arts advocates, whose excitement had them “Jumping for Joy.” Thanks to everyone for participating!
