| Last Thursday, twenty of New York City's best chefs paired their food with great wine from the Hess Collection, a Napa Valley wine producer, at Sip for the Sea to benefit the WCS's New York Aquarium. The event raised awareness about the importance of sustainable seafood. All proceeds will support the New York Aquarium as it continues to rebuild and transform. Sustainable seafood was served, making Sip for the Sea a win for conservation. With many fish species facing serious threats such as over-fishing, sustainable seafood options help ensure the longevity of diverse and healthy ocean ecosystems around the world. WCS Sip for the Sea Sponsors included Canon, Wine Spectator, Alaska Seafood, Sea to Table. |

| Also last Thursday night from 6 to 8 on Anita’s Way, a through-block arcade between Sixth Avenue and Broadway that runs through 42nd Street to 43rd, Artemus, an art leasing company founded by the Durst Organization, the Edelman Companies, and Armory Merchant Holdings held a reception with their initial installation: Frank Stella: Out-Standing. The objective of Artemus is to provide corporations with a financially advantageous way to enhance their work spaces with important and inspiring works of art. The exhibition runs now until October 31st. It was curated by both FreedmanArt and Edelman Arts. If you love Stella’s work, the presentation in Anita’s Way of four classic sculptural relief constructions offers a new perspective of the artist’s work during the decade of the 1980s. |
