ACE THIS CHARITY EVENT

Because of the overwhelming success of our first-ever art auction fundraiser last year, we will be holding our second annual Art.works 4 A.C.E. Live and Silent Art Auction on Thursday, March 19th from 6pm to 9pm.

The event will be held at the Mimi Ferzt Gallery in SoHo. This year's event will feature a Preview Day on Wednesday, March 18th, from noon to six in the evening at the gallery, for prospective buyers and attendees to view the artwork. The Art.works exhibit will feature a wide range of pieces donated from galleries throughout SoHo and New York City.

Lydia Fenet, Vice President and Director of Special Events at Christie's auction house, has donated her services as auctioneer. A live jazz trio will play throughout the evening. All proceeds from the auction will go to benefit A.C.E. Programs for the Homeless.

If you are interested in attending the auction or donating a piece, please contact Jenna at artworks@ace4homeless.org or 212.274.0550 ext. 28.

Our mission is to enable New York City's homeless men and women to re-enter the workforce and achieve long-term economic self-sufficiency. We serve recovering homeless individuals with multiple barriers to employment, including substance abuse, criminal histories and psychiatric diagnoses. Our approach consists of two programs designed to combat the cycle of homelessness at its roots. Project Comeback is an intensive, four to six month vocational rehabilitation program that incorporates work experience, job-readiness workshops and one-on-one counseling. Upon securing full-time employment, graduates of Project Comeback are encouraged to sign up for Project Stay, our life-long job-retention program. Project Stay provides a permanent safety net for our clients, helping them to maintain and build upon the positive changes they have made in their lives. A.C.E.'s unique strategy has been wildly successful. Since January 2006, 87% of our clients have remained employed for two years or longer.
