Hello friends,

Great news! We have just announced our online raffle available immediately through end of day December, 29, 2009. This is through my company TopStar gallery which many of you have heard me promote online and now with our Bryant Park storefront (come visit us please!).
TopStar recognizes that their are many unfortunate people living all over the world. With a recession that has staying power, 2009 is going to be a year where end of year giving is not on the same levels as years past.

As a result, we have decided to have an online raffle with fabulous one of a kind art to give away to the raffle winners. We will be basing the number of prizes on the dollar value we receive; however our Grand Prize winner will be walking away with a Framed, Matted & Signed 20×24 photograph of their choice (a $300 value!). Click on the link above for more details.
50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Make A Wish Foundation on December 30, 2009.
We appreciate your support and hope that you can spare at least $10 this holiday season towards a great cause.

Also, the store is doing great! We have a great location and traffic has picked up each week. Wish us luck as the full force hoilday shopping is coming now! All in all, this has been one risk worth taking and our 7 promoted artists are benefitting as well!
Please forward to your friends and family as well. Every dollar makes a huge difference to those that are not as fortunate as us! Strength in numbers forever!!!

See you all soon!

Dan's PIZZA ART SERIES, opening Sat May 9 in Red Hook Brooklyn

Hello Friends,

I would like to invite you to Red Hook, Brooklyn beginning this Saturday at 1PM for the opening of a 5 week art gallery exhibit titled, "The Color of Hope" by the Brooklyn Waterfront Artist's Coalition (BWAC - http://bwac.org). This is Brooklyn's largest art gallery. Free admission & complimentary hor d'oeuvres and cocktails to be served.

The show runs from Saturday May 9 - Sunday June 14 (weekends only) from 1PM - 6PM. There will be live music and entertainment on the 2nd floor and a silent art auction that concludes about 4PM with a final roll call on June 14.

I hope you are a pizza lover because when you walk through the 1st floor doors, I have a featured wall to the the right of the entrance themed, "The Art Of Pizza"! 9 pieces are on display that will tell you a story of how a perfect pizza pie is hand made, cooked and finally devoured. OK now I am hungry!

This gallery is located in an old warehouse down by the Red Hook Pier. This is an interesting space and an equally interesting area due to the amazing views from Red Hook's many piers. Look right and observe a very close-up view of the Statue of Liberty along with lower Manhattan. Look Left and see the Verrazano Bridge). Right outside the gallery sit 3 old trolley cars - these are the remains of what was left from attempts to put the trolley cars back on the streets a few years back.

I hope to see you there. The address is:

499 Van Brunt Street
Brooklyn, NY 11231
(all the way down to the Pier, Fairway's market on the right hand side)
