PIECES OF HEAVEN CHRISTIE’S ART AUCTION

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Christie’s teams up with BMW and Vanity Fair to present The Art of Elysium’s Pieces of Heaven Art Auction to benefit The Art of Elysium, an organization that brings the arts in all of its disciplines to children battling illness. The auction is a continuation of the The Art of Elysium’s annual gala celebration in January and includes a silent and live auction of artwork generously donated by artists, dealers and private collectors. 100% of the proceeds go to benefit The Art of Elysium programs for hospitalized children.

The Art of Elysium, founded in 1997, encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. They provide artistic workshops in acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting, and creative writing.

THE ART OF ELYSIUM

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

EVENT DATE: JANUARY 16th, 2010

Clayton Brothers, Rob and Christian are honored to contribute two paintings for the Art of Elysium’s 2010 Annual Gala / Art Auction.

In celebration of 12 years of service, The Art of Elysium will host its annual black tie gala fundraising events for approximately 450 ticketed VIP guests who will be treated to an art-filled evening which includes a cocktail hour, seated dinner, fashion show, live musical performances and much more.

The gala will be creatively conceived by this year’s visionary, Shepard Fairey.  Known primarily for his iconic HOPE portrait for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and street art movement, OBEY GIANT, Fairey will lend his incredible talent to creating his vision of Heaven on earth.  Kirsten Dunst will be receiving the Spirit of Elysium award in recognition of her endless dedication and support to The Art of Elysium.

Guests will receive a collectible coffee-table Art Book, which shows a preview of the beautiful art pieces donated by The Art of Elysium supporters, which will be available for auction in February.

Mission: The Art of Elysium, a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization founded in 1997, encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions.
