Designers sought for Fundraising
The tragedy In New Orleans has affected many including artist, musicians, designers, and independent business persons such as yourself. Imagine that the very instruments you need to provide a living for yourself and your family has been lost. Through the Artist Mosaic project I have been working to help artist get the tools and supplies that they have needed, I had previously set my birthday celebration as a fundraiser in support of that, this will be continued. However I am reaching out to other designers, A-liners to come together to Help fellow artist. On October 22nd The Central Brooklyn Jazz Consortium had reserved the Von king Park for their Anniversary celebration. This Open Concert will be dedicated to relief efforts in support of fellow artist, as the Jazz of Fashion Event A-liners would be represented. I am Asking Designers interested in Organizing a fund raising efforts to contact me. One suggestion is that we donate garments for a major sale, In house Studio events. Please feel free to leave your info in the comment box or respond via phone or e-mail
