SWOON and The New Orleans Airlift Collaborate to Raise Money to Help Traveling Artists!
A joint benefit to assist SWOON and the New Orleans Airlift will take place the Antenna Gallery in New Orleans’ Bywater Neighborhood on February 18. Antenna has generously donated their space for a silent auction featuring screenprints by SWOON among many others. Musical acts Dark, Dark, Dark (New York), Church Rag (New Orleans), and Ratty Scurvics will accompany the auction, and a dance party featuring the Airlift’s own Rusty Lazer will follow.
Proceeds will be donated to assist the Airlift in its upcoming visit to Berlin, as well as SWOON’s Swimming Cities of Serenissma - a flotilla of three intricately hand crafted vessels that will navigate the Adriatic Sea from Koper, Slovenia to Venice, Italy in May, 2009. The boats are descendants of the flotillas Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea (Hudson River, 2008) and the Miss Rockaway Armada (Mississippi River, 2005 and 2006).
