Last May, Allie and I photographed a wedding on the beautiful island of Maui. (I must say, we miss Maui. A lot!) Anyway, a few weeks ago those clients, Matthew and Heather, asked me if I would be interested in photographing GENESIS—a benefit for The Art of Elysium, a charity which is near and dear to their hearts. The Art of Elysium is a nonprofit organization that brings the arts into the lives of children who are inflicted with life-threatening illnesses.
It was held in the loading dock and warehouse of HD Buttercup – such a cool space. It featured New York’s finest mixologists from Death & Co. NY, a complimentary “jean bar” provided by Current/Elliott and very special musical guests: DJ Brent Bolthouse, DJ Menelik, Chris Pierce, Ringside and Fight From Above. Artist Christopher Cuseo did a live art installation.
As a photographer who does much charitable special event photography, I was impressed by this event. It was star-studded with lots of gifts, laughter, entertainment and great people. I can’t wait for next year!
For more information on how you can become involved, go to The Art of Elysium.
