May 3-10, 2002

Friday Night May 10, 2002 7-10 PM Live Auction at 8:00 PM sharp.

Some art festivals open with a bash; “Reaction” did. Almost 700 art lovers attended opening night, but "Reaction" has a lot more celebrating to do. Closing night promises to be the biggest event of the week-long art festival with a live auction, MC'd by two noted New York City's performers; Joanna Lange and David Tornabene. There will also be a night of music by the world famous DJ $mall ¢hange of "WFMU"!

This week long Art Festival at the DNA Studio Gallery in Spanish Harlem, which opened on May 3rd, offers a chance to celebrate the great surviving spirit of New York artists. Reaction explores the ripple effects of September 11th on the work of a wide range of painters, sculptors, photographers and performers working in a variety of media. Each artist shows samples of pre- 9/11 work allowing the viewers to note whether or not subtle and sometimes not so subtle changes have occurred in their style, media, or subject material. The bulk of the work on exhibit are pieces created after Sept 11th, 2001. Fifty percent of all sales from the show go directly to The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the non-profit organization known for having provided free art studios in The World Trade Center. Funds go towards LMCC’s continuing programs that provide workspaces, grants and exhibitions for emerging artists throughout New York City. The remainder of income goes directly to the exhbiting artists. DNA Gallery is donating its space and services for the exhibition/festival. Visual artists in Reaction include Gus Murphy, Brenda Bradley, Lisa Barnstone, Jeremy Garrett, Dan-thanh Ton-That, Kathleen Perkins, Dror Katz, Rossi, Yehudit Feinstein, Fawn Potash, Melissa Cacioppo, Ed Williams and John Daquino.
