ART TO ABOLISH CHILD-SEX-TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION

New York, NY -- Love146 is pleased to announce a special benefit, organized by independent curator, Bonnie Kate. For this one-day event, donated works of art will be on view in the heart of the Arts District (across the street from the Chelsea Piers). Works will vary from illustrative to photographic and multimedia--appealing to a variety of tastes, with a common theme of youthful hope.

The burden of social awareness is frequently carried by creative communities. When the creative is coupled with the proper resources and supported by the philanthropic it makes tremendous progress possible. This relationship has been responsible for many amazing successes, such as Damien Hirst's work with the Global Fund, to the Bensen Gallery in Arlington Heights, outside Chicago.

Love146, under its former alias, "Justice for Children International", was acknowledged as G.Q.'s 2007 Non-Profit of the year. Moving into the next phase, the organization has been motivated to target the socially conscious of Manhattan and the respected community of the arts. Information highlighting the organization's efforts--which specializes in aftercare counseling for children who have been rescued from child sex trafficking and exploitation --is available on the website: http://love146.org/. Based in New Haven, CT, this will be Love146's first New York City event.

Please join us for this opportunity to give and gain awareness as we auction works of art that have been generously donated by New York and Los Angeles artists.

Founded in 2002 (as Justice for Children Intl.), Love146 is a

  1. Wow Bonnie! I think this is absolutely fantastic! You know this cause is number one in my heart, and I am so proud and happy that you are doing something about it. I stumbled upon this site through twitter, which by the way, I have the screen name "strawbaby17" in case you were wondering who that is. I will also send you an invite to the 20 Something 20 Everything book club with that screen name... Hope to talk to you soon!
