Dear Friends,
For the last 25 years ABC No Rio has been actively nurturing
alternative art and community organizations in the face of the
gentrification of the Lower East Side. As the founding editor of
Sandbox Magazine I can sincerely say that we could not have explored New York's radical underground scenes without ABC No Rio's energy and
support.
Today, ABC No Rio is asking for everyone's support to renovate its
facilities and expand its programs. Deitch Projects will be holding a gala benefit and silent auction at its Soho gallery on Thursday October
20th featuring an unusual mix of artists, including Yoko Ono, Jenny Holzer, Fly, Ebon Fisher and Circus Amok.
A great range of prints, installations and one-of-a-kind works will be
for sale, including a customized video portrait offered by one of
Sandbox's most unusual contributors, Ebon Fisher.
I hope that many of you will be able to attend this event and support
this wonderful organisation. You can also make a direct donation
through ABC No Rioç—´ website:
