CREATIVE TIME IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH PADDLE8 AND NEW YORK FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS TO HELP SUPPORT ARTISTS AND ARTS ORGANIZATIONS AFFECTED BY HURRICANE SANDY
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Creative Time is doing what it does best—responding proactively in support of artists and communities. We are teaming up with Paddle8 and New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) on RE.START, an online auction benefiting artists and arts organizations affected by the storm. From today through December 11, RE.START will offer thirty lots featuring works by some of the leading international artists of our day, including Ai Weiwei, Nobuyoshi Araki, Dan Colen, David Hockney, Nate Lowman, Beatriz Milhazes, Takashi Murakami, Yoshitomo Nara, Gabriel Orozco, Kiki Smith, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Aaron Young, among others. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to storm relief efforts, with Creative Time distributing half the money raised to nonprofit art organizations and NYFA allocating the other half to individual artists in need. Visit Paddle8 to place your bid today!
What's more, if you make a year-end gift to Creative Time our Board of Directors will match your online contribution adding it to the total raised by RE.START. Your donation to Creative Time will directly support victims of Hurricane Sandy, while also enabling Creative Time to continue:
- Transforming public spaces with provocative and engaging artworks like an upcoming surprise commission in an iconic New York City building;
