The Simone Gad Foundation invites you to an exhibition and fundraiser to help support its programs for artists. The exhibition features artists from upcoming programs including Frank Paletta who will have a solo exhibition in September. Frank has his own program of art lessons for artists in need, starting with his first student Nicolas Preston who will also have works on exhibition. The fundraiser evening will include access to art by Simone Gad and local artists, silent auctions, live performance by Somewhere Somehow from 5:00pm to 8:00pm and other fun events. The Simone Gad Foundation seeks to support artists with unique challenges to find footing in the art world and is proud to grant Dena Novak as its first recipient of the Exhibition Program. The Simone Gad Exhibition Program helps secure and support gallery exhibitions for artists. An emphasis is placed on supporting creative practitioners who have been unfairly overlooked or who have experienced debilitating challenges or setbacks in their careers due to societal challenges, inherited legacies of generational trauma, and/or unexpected personal or financial crises. Recipients are currently selected based on board member nominations and chosen from the Residencies Program. Further information about the foundation can be found at https://simonegadfoundation.org
