Support the Red Cross – Taking Donations at our Reception

Hello everyone,

If you are attending the gallery reception, we have an important message for you.  In the wake of the recent earthquake in Haiti, donations are urgently needed for support organizations.  We will be accepting donations for Red Cross at our event and will be sending one large donation in the name of our company.  Additionally, we will donate 5% of the proceeds of any art sold at the show directly to the Red Cross.

If you are not able to make it to the reception, please support the disaster relief efforts through online websites such as:

• Red Cross
• Oxfam
• Save the Children

Please join us as we help those who have suffered through this great tragedy.

Sincerely,

Rob Sanchez, Jeff Badillo, and Julie Chan
Crosby Street Gallery, LLC

Thank you to everyone who made it to the opening of Urban>Nature on Friday despite the bitter cold!  Over 100 people showed up for art and tacos at the Loading Dock, which was the perfect place for Crosby Street Gallery’s debut.

• Artists will also hold evening hours on Friday, Dec. 18th, 6:00-9:00 PM and Saturday, Dec. 19th from 5:00-7:00 PM.

Special thanks to the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership for putting us in touch with Loading Dock, and for Luis Gutierrez for photographing the event!
