The Museum of Modern Art will host the Armory Party, a benefit event with live music and DJs celebrating the opening of the Armory Show and Armory Arts Week, on Wednesday, March 4, 2020. The Armory Show is New York’s premier art fair and a definitive cultural destination for discovering and collecting the world’s most important 20th- and 21st-century artworks. The evening reception, along with the daytime Early Access Preview at Piers 90 and 94, benefits MoMA’s exhibition programming.
The Armory Show returns in March 2020, marking its 26th year as New York’s leading fair for modern and contemporary art, and definitive cultural destination in the heart of Manhattan. Staged on Piers 90 and 94, the Armory Show features presentations by nearly 180 leading international galleries, sitespecific commissions and dynamic public programs. Since its founding in 1994, the Armory Show has served as a nexus for the art world, inspiring dialogue, discovery and patronage in the visual arts.

The relationship between the Armory Show and MoMA dates back to 2001, the year in which the fair dedicated its opening day to the Museum and in which the Pat Hearn and Colin de Land Acquisition Fund at The Museum of Modern Art was founded. The Armory Party at MoMA was also first held in 2001 and continues to be a much-anticipated annual art event, reflective of the deep partnership between both institutions and their shared commitment to Armory Arts Week.

The event will run from 9:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and features access to the second-floor Collection Galleries, Dorothea Lange: Words & Pictures, and Haegue Yang: Handles.Party ticket purchase also includes select access to the Armory Show at Piers 90 and 94.

Orville Peck will perform a live set in the Museum’s Agnes Gund Garden Lobby. Described as country music’s newest outlaw, Peck performs in handmade, fringed masks—which obscure all but his ice-blue eyes and belie his deeply personal lyrics—and ornate Nudie suits that recall the golden age of country music. Since the March 2019 release of his self-produced debut album, Pony, on Sub Pop Records, the enigmatic singer-songwriter has been featured on NPR and in Billboard, the New Yorker, Rolling Stone,the Los Angeles Times, Uncut, the Fader, the Bluegrass Situation, and Vogue. The record draws from country music’s rich traditions, while Peck’s unique and haunting baritone weaves through 12 original songs.
This year’s event is hosted by the Junior Associates of The Museum of Modern Art.

Founded in 1993, the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction is the largest fundraising event for the High Museum of Art. The Wine Auction is the top charity fundraising event in Atlanta and the number one charity wine auction benefiting the arts. Proceeds generated by the Auction, which have amounted to more than $32 million over the last 27 years, provide a significant source of funding for the Museum’s exhibitions and educational programs. Proceeds help to make possible special exhibitions and partnerships. The Auction also provides funds for dynamic youth education programs, which draw more than 65,000 schoolchildren to the High each year. For more information, visit www.highmuseumwine.org.
The Paddle Raise, celebrating 15 years in 2020, benefits the Museum’s Art Access program and has raised more than $1.6 million since its inception. These funds provide classroom resources to teachers and subsidized museum visits for more than 125,000 students of all ages each year.
“The Museum’s continued connection to our community and the diverse programming we offer our visitors would not be possible without the outstanding support we receive through the Wine Auction,” said Rand Suffolk, Nancy and Holcombe T. Green, Jr., Director of the High. “I am excited to celebrate another year of this remarkable event and recognize the extraordinary generosity of our donors.”
“The Wine Auction gets bigger and better every year with more vintners and wine connoisseurs joining us to enjoy an exceptional experience,” said Steven Hargrove, Associate Director, Wine Auction and Special Events. “We look forward to welcoming everyone to Atlanta for this year’s events.”
The 2020 Wine Auction is co-chaired by Aarati Alexander and Burch Hanson, who have participated in the event for nearly 20 years combined.
The Special Guest of Honor for the 2020 Wine Auction is Dr. Madaiah Revana, owner of the Revana Wine Portfolio. Revana’s experience with agriculture began on his family’s farm outside of Bangalore, India, and has grown into a passion for wine. This appreciation has allowed him to travel the world to seek out exceptional vineyards and distinctive wines. Revana now owns three wineries in the United States and internationally: Revana Winery in Napa Valley, Calif.; Alexana Winery in Willamette Valley, Ore.; and Corazon Del Sol in Mendoza, Argentina.
The 2020 Special Guest Chef is Vivian Howard, owner of Chef & the Farmer, Boiler Room and Benny’s Big Time in North Carolina as well as owner of Handy & Hot bakery delivery service and author of “Deep Run Roots” cookbook. Howard was recognized as the South’sBest Chef of 2019 by Southern Living.

of us take basic apparel for granted, but we know a new, clean pair
of socks can mean a lot to those experiencing homelessness,”
said Sidney Falken, chief branding officer, HanesBrands.
“We are committed to bringing a little comfort to those who need
it most – and it is incredibly gratifying to have others, including

Company Is Halfway To Meeting Its Pledge Goal Of $5M To Support Various Community Organizations
On the eve of the company opening its newest flagship store in New York City (57th Street and Broadway), Nordstrom is proud to announce its continued commitment to supporting the local New York City community through its new partnership with Good+Foundation, a leading nonprofit that works to dismantle multi-generational poverty by pairing donations of goods with innovative services to help low-income families.
Last
year, Nordstrom announced its commitment to give $5 million dollars
to the community of New York City by the end of 2020 through a
combination of enterprise investments and grants. Good+Foundation
is the newest addition to the portfolio, receiving a community grant
of $250,000 to support programmatic work across all five boroughs of
New York. This work will include helping deliver essential items like
cribs, diapers and strollers as well as providing access to family
services like job training, couples counseling and parenting classes
with the long term goal of creating a healthier, safer environment
for parents and children. Nordstrom will also be supporting the
foundation through its 2019 NYC in-store holiday campaign and
more.
“We
believe one of our most important responsibilities as a company is
giving back to the diverse communities where we live and work,”
said Jamie Nordstrom, president of stores. “As we celebrate
the opening of Nordstrom NYC, our Manhattan Flagship store, we are
thrilled to be partnering with Good+Foundation to help improve the
lives of thousands of local children and families.”
Founded
in 2001 in New York City, Good+Foundation partners with
approximately 75 innovative anti-poverty programs in the country,
including 30 partners across all five boroughs. The organization’s
goal is to incentivize parental enrollment and participation in
programs like job training, anger management, healthy relationships
and addressing trauma to improve the outcome for families. With an
annual donation of over $7 million worth of products, Good+Foundation
has earned a 4-star rating on Charity Navigator for the sixth
consecutive year as well as accreditation by the Better Business
Bureau‘sWise Giving Alliance for transparency, efficiency
and operations.
“Good+Foundation
is proud to be part of the philanthropic investment Nordstrom is
making to New York City,” says Jessica Seinfeld,
Good+Foundation president and founder. “Nordstrom is
committed to improving the lives of children and families, and
through this partnership, thousands more fathers and mothers will
receive essential goods like strollers, car seats, diapers and
clothes when they achieve milestones like getting a GED or completing
a parenting class.“
Each
year, Nordstrom donates millions of dollars to hundreds of nonprofit
organizations across the U.S. and Canada,
with the majority of giving focused on organizations and programs
that empower youth, support children and care for families. In 2018,
Nordstrom supported more than 600 organizations and $12M
in
the communities where the company does business. Additional

New $14.6 Million Weill Gift To Support Carnegie Hall’s Artistic and Educational Initiatives, Including Music Education and Teacher Training Programs in New York City Public Schools
Carnegie
Hall announced that, thanks to a generous $14.6
million gift, Joan and Sanford I. Weill and The Weill
Family Foundation have earned the unique distinction of becoming
the first private donors in Carnegie Hall’s history to reach the $100
million threshold in cumulative lifetime giving.
This
new gift to Carnegie Hall’s 125th Anniversary Campaign will
provide important support to Carnegie Hall’s artistic and educational
initiatives with $5 million specifically earmarked to underwrite the
Hall’s music education and teacher training programs in New York City
public schools.
Sanford
I. Weill joined the Carnegie Hall Board of Trustees in
1983, was elected Chairman in 1991, and then President in 2015. For
more than three decades, Mr. Weill and his wife, Joan, have
been centerstage for each of Carnegie Hall’s major milestones,
generously supporting the 1986 historic restoration of the main
auditorium (now Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage) and recital
hall (now Weill Recital Hall); the building of the Hall’s
endowment fund in the late 1990s; the construction of Zankel Hall
and establishment of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute in
2003; and the renovation of the Hall’s Studio Towers, creating
a home for music education on the building’s upper floors, in 2014.
A
committed fundraiser who has always led by example, campaigns led or
co-chaired by Mr. Weill have raised $525 million for Carnegie Hall’s
endowment and capital projects. Thanks to the stewardship of Mr.
Weill and his fellow trustees, Carnegie Hall’s endowment has grown
from $4 million in 1991 to more than $320 million today. Under the
auspices of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, the Hall’s
music education and community programs have expanded ten-fold and
continue to grow, now serving more than 600,000 people around the
globe.
“I
can’t remember a time when Carnegie Hall hasn’t been a central part
of Joan and my life,” said Sanford I. Weill, Carnegie Hall’s
President. “We are so proud of everything that has been
accomplished here over the years, especially in the area of music
education, with kids having the chance to experience great music at
the finest concert hall and develop their potential through music. It
is very rewarding to think about how this amazing hall will be
enjoyed by future generations. We truly think the best is yet to
come.”
“It’s
my pleasure to congratulate Sandy and Joan on this incredible
milestone and thank them for their unparalleled generosity to our
community,” said Robert F. Smith, Chairman of Carnegie
Hall’s Board of Trustees. “Stretching over decades, their
advocacy for Carnegie Hall has been inspiring to so many of us. Their
dedication to this Hall is built on our joint belief that music and
education have the power to transform lives—and their work toward
our cause will continue to make a true impact.”
“I
have always admired Sandy and Joan’s deep passion for Carnegie Hall,
their massive commitment to music education, and their focus on
ensuring that this iconic place is always safeguarded, continually
evolving to meet the needs of today’s audiences and the world’s
finest artists,” said Clive Gillinson, Executive and
Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall. “In my work with Sandy,
he has always been a forward-thinking leader who, in asking the best
questions and testing ideas, has always had the best interest of
Carnegie Hall at heart. I could not have wished for a better partner
for all that we aspired to achieve together for Carnegie Hall over
the last fourteen years.”
From
the beginning of his service to the Hall, Mr. Weill worked closely
with Stern and board leaders to safeguard the famed concert venue, a
building saved from demolition in 1960, however still in dire need of
restoration. Upon joining the board, Mr. Weill co-chaired, with
then-Chairman James D. Wolfensohn, the $60 million Campaign
for Carnegie Hall, leading to the historic 28-week restoration of
Carnegie Hall’s main auditorium and recital hall in 1986, a project
that modernized the Hall’s facilities and brought these two concert
venues back to their original glory. The Carnegie Hall Recital
Hall was reopened in January 1987, renamed as the Joan and
Sanford I. Weill Recital Hall in recognition of the Weills’
leadership and generous support.
Among
other major highlights of Mr. Weill’s board leadership was the
completion and unveiling of the Judy and Arthur Zankel
Hall—Carnegie Hall’s $100 million modern, underground concert
venue—which opened in 2003, paving the way for expanded performance
and education programming. Also in 2003, Carnegie Hall established
the Weill Music Institute (WMI), the new umbrella under which
the Hall’s existing education and community programs would be
significantly expanded with a goal of reaching increased local,
national, and international audiences. The work of WMI was buoyed by
a new endowment supporting music education created earlier that year
with more than $60 million raised in one night at a March 2003 gala
celebrating Mr. Weill’s 70th birthday and his 20th anniversary as a
trustee. Today, WMI programs engage with 600,000 people around the
world each season, including more than 55,000 students and teachers
in New York City public schools. Carnegie Hall currently dedicates
approximately $14 million of its budget to support these programs
annually.
Most
recently, Mr. Weill led Carnegie Hall’s Studio Towers Renovation
Project campaign, a comprehensive undertaking that has created
inspirational new spaces for music education on the Hall’s upper
floors while also fully refurbishing the Hall’s backstage areas and
offices. The $230 million project was capped in 2014 with the opening
of the new 61,000 square-foot Judith and Burton Resnick Education
Wing, comprised of 24 new rooms for music education, including
the double-height Weill Music Room. Adjacent to the new wing are new
spaces for entertaining including the Weill Terrace Room and
the Weill Terrace, a new outdoor roof terrace that serves as
an ideal gathering place for those engaged in Carnegie Hall events
and activities.
Sanford
and Joan Weill continue to be very active and generous
philanthropists, supporting organizations around the globe. In
addition to his post with Carnegie Hall, Mr. Weill is Chairman
Emeritus of Weill Cornell Medical College; Founder and
Chairman of the National Academy Foundation; Chairman of the
Executive Council at University of California, San Francisco;
Chancellor’s Advisory Board member at University of California,
Davis; Board of Visitors member at University of California,
Berkeley; Chairman of the Lang Lang International Music
Foundation; and Honorary Chair of the Committee Encouraging
Corporate Philanthropy. He is a member of the prestigious
American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
A
tireless champion for social service and cultural organizations for
decades, Joan Weill is a member of the Board of Overseers at
University of California, San Francisco; Co-Chairman of the
New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine Women’s Health
Symposium; Co-Chairman of the Weill Music Institute Advisory
Council at Carnegie Hall; past Chairman of Paul Smith’s
College of the Adirondacks; past President and board member of
Citymeals-On-Wheels; and former executive committee member of
Women in Need. A driving force in the growth of Alvin
Ailey, Joan is Chairman Emerita and continues to serve on the
board. Married 64 years, the Weills received the 2009 Carnegie
Medal of Philanthropy and the 2017 Kennedy Center Award for
the Human Spirit in recognition of their philanthropic efforts.
Since
1891, Carnegie Hall has set the international standard for excellence
in performance as the aspirational destination for the world’s finest
musicians. Carnegie Hall presents a wide range of performances each
season on its three stages—the renowned Stern Auditorium / Perelman
Stage, intimate Weill Recital Hall, and innovative Zankel
Hall—including concert series curated by acclaimed artists and
composers; citywide festivals featuring collaborations with leading
New York City cultural institutions; orchestral performances, chamber
music, new music concerts, and recitals; and the best in jazz, world,
and popular music. Complementing these performance activities,
Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute creates extensive music
education, community, and social impact programs that serve people of
all ages in the New York City area, nationally, and internationally,
playing a central role in Carnegie Hall’s commitment to making great
music accessible to as many people as possible. For more information,

Reception 5:30pm – 7:30pm, Rubin Museum of Art, 150 West 17th
Street
Today,
global luxury brand Burberry and authenticated luxury
consignment marketplace The RealReal announced they are
teaming up to promote a more sustainable future for fashion. Through
a new partnership, Burberry and The RealReal are aiming to support
and promote the benefits of a circular economy for fashion by
encouraging customers to extend the life of their products through
resale. Through the pilot launching today, customers who consign
Burberry pieces at The RealReal are being offered an exclusive
personal shopping experience in select Burberry stores across the
U.S.
Burberry And The RealReal Join Forces To Make Fashion Circular
The
Ellen
MacArthur Foundation estimates
that more than $500 billion of value is lost every year due to
clothing not being utilized or recycled effectively, with some
garments in the U.S. discarded after just seven to 10 wears.
Burberry
has been at the forefront of sustainability in fashion, with social
and environmental programmes in place for more than 15 years. Driving
a more circular economy for fashion is central to Burberry’s
five-year Responsibility agenda to 2022 and as part of this Burberry
continues to expand ways to reuse, repair, donate and recycle
products and materials. During 2018/19, Burberry reduced its
market-based emissions by 43% and procured 58% of its total energy
(including 68% of its electricity) from renewable sources. Burberry
is now carbon neutral across the Americas region, its EMEIA retail
stores and UK operations, and aims to be 100% carbon neutral by 2022.
A
key figure in driving industry collaboration, Burberry is a founding
signatory of the UNFCCC’s Fashion Industry Charter for Climate
Action, a signatory of the UN Global Compact, and a core partner of
the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Make Fashion Circular initiative,
working with industry and NGOs to address key impacts of the fashion
industry. Burberry is also a signatory of The Fashion Pact, a global
alliance between 32 of the world’s leading fashion companies to
tackle climate change announced at the 2019 G7 Summit in Biarritz.
“Leading
the way in creating a more circular economy for fashion is a key
element of our Responsibility agenda,” said Pam Batty, VP
Corporate Responsibility, Burberry. “The RealReal shares our
ambition to promote the circular economy and keep clothing in use for
longer. We know that the enduring quality of Burberry pieces means
their appeal and value is long-lasting. Through this new partnership
we hope to not only champion a more circular future but encourage
consumers to consider all the options available to them when they’re
looking to refresh their wardrobes.”

The
RealReal is the world’s largest online marketplace for authenticated,
consigned luxury goods. With an expert behind every item, the company

their luxury items. With morethan 100+ in-house gemologists,

consign and meet with experts to learn more about luxury authenticity
and sustainability. At its 11 Luxury Consignment Offices,
three of which are located in our retail stores, the expert staff
provides free valuations for high-value pieces.
According
to The RealReal, resale demand for Burberry has increased by 64%
year-on-year, with searches for Burberry on the site rising fastest
among Millennial and Gen Z customers.
“A
brand as storied as Burberry embracing the circular economy
demonstrates the power of resale’s impact on both the luxury market
and the planet,” said Julie Wainwright, CEO of The RealReal.
“I hope together we’ll be a part of pioneering a future in
which circularity is a consideration for every luxury brand.”
Building
on their shared ambition to make fashion circular, Burberry
and
The RealReal have
made a donation to Materials
for the Arts to
support its work in helping people rethink the way they look at
materials and waste, as well as educating the public on the
importance of creative reuse.
Burberry
and The RealReal’s generous donation will support MFTA’s nonprofit
partner, Friends of Materials for the Arts, which guides and supports
MFTA’s education and outreach initiatives including free field trips
for students, warehouse operation improvements, public programming,
and professional development for educators. Contributions like this
are essential to its
mission to encourage creative reuse and environmental sustainability
in NYC, which,
in turn,
empower students to make art, train teachers to bring creative
hands-on projects into the classroom, and keep the warehouse open
later for itsmembers.
A
program of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, with
support from the Department of Education and Friends of
Materials for the Arts, MFTA is NYC’s largest reuse center
supporting nonprofits with arts programming, public schools, and city
agencies. On average MFTA collects over 1.5m lbs. (approx.700,000
kilograms) of supplies each year which it provides, free of charge,
to its member organizations. In addition to providing materials, MFTA
has an Artist-in-Residence program, an education center, and holds
public events which include gallery openings and community workshops.

Macy’s invites its customers to help those in need by purchasing a
coat in the men’s, women’s, junior’s and children’s outerwear
departments in-store and on macys.com.
For
every coat purchased, Macy’s will donate a brand new coat, up to
35,000 with an average retail value of $40-$100 each, to
Clothes4Souls
to
provide warmth, hope and dignity to those in need this winter. Since
2013, Macy’s has donated $9.4 million in coats, helping more than

Kering,
through its Women In Motion program, is partnering with the
creative arts publisher Phaidon and its sister company
Artspace, a leading online marketplace, to launch the new book
Great Women
Artists. (Link to Great Women
Artists on Artspace.com: www.artspace.com/greatwomenartists)
Kering,
a partner of the Festival de Cannes, launched Women In
Motion in 2015 to shine a light on women’s contribution to
cinema, both in front of and behind the camera. Since then, the
program has been expanded to include the worlds of photography, arts
and literature. For although creativity is one of the most powerful
forces for change, gender inequality in this areas remains flagrant.
Through its awards, The program recognizes both inspirational figures
and talented young women, while its Talks provide an
opportunity for some of the leading names in cinema and arts to share
their views on women’s representation in their profession. For the
past five years, Women In Motion has been a platform for
helping to change mindsets and to providing thought leadership on
both the role and the recognition given to women in all areas of the
arts.
Phaidon
will publish Great Women Artists an
extensive illustrated book on women artists that reflects an era
where art made by women is more prominent than ever. The book tells
the stories of over 400 artists spanning 500 years and reveals a
parallel yet equally engaging history of art for an age that
champions a great diversity of voices.
According to information published on the Phaidon website, Great Women Artists is the most extensive fully illustrated book of women artists ever published. It reflects an era where art made by women is more prominent than ever, where galleries, museums and the art market are waking up to previously overlooked female artists, past and present. Great Women Artists reveals a parallel yet equally engaging history of art for an age that champions a greater diversity of voices.
Great Women Artists tells stories of over 400 artists who span 500 years. The oldest, Properzia de’ Rossi, was born in 1490 in Bologna; while the youngest, New Yorker Tschabalala Self, is still in her twenties. It’s organised from A-to-Z by surname so readers can easily find their way around, and works from different eras become juxtaposed.
It includes historic women who were hugely successful artists in their own lifetimes, but who were then excluded from written accounts in the centuries that followed, such as Angelica Kauffman, Judith Leyster and Artemisia Gentileschi. However, in some cases, those featured in Great Women Artists were far from obscure in their own era; consider Marisol, the French sculptor who is said to have been a bigger art star than Andy Warhol back in the 1960s.
Aside from the brilliant imagery, the book is filled with fascinating facts, vignettes and insights. Readers can discover more about Anni Albers, who, in 1949, became the first designer to have a solo exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art; they can delight in Alma Thomas’s work; who was the first African-American woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and they can revel in the work of Diane Arbus , the first photographer to be included in the Venice Biennale.

Great Women Artists draws in part from Phaidon’s 1994 best seller, The Art Book, which was also notable for its inclusion of a number of female artists, at a time when some other popular art history books were still failing to do so. “In the quarter century since then, diversity in art history – with regard to race as well as gender – has continued to expand,” writes editor Rebecca Morrill in the book’s introduction. “History is no longer perceived as a single narrative that represents and serves only one section of society, but rather a tangle of interwoven stories that coexist rather than compete for dominance.”

This timely update might seem superfluous, in an age when many believe female figures do have equal prominence, power and representation in the art world. However, as Morrill points out, even today, “male artists are still likely to be more successful by any number of measures. They are more likely to have representation by a commercial gallery,” she writes. “They achieve higher prices in the art market. They are more likely to be written about by critics and art historians (who are themselves, more likely to be male).”
Great Women Artists won’t right these wrongs, but it will serve as a great primer for anyone keen to explore the work of lesser-known practitioners; it will please proud feminists eager to get a handle on the art world; and it will delight anyone who enjoys great painting, photography, sculpture, video and performance art.
Through
this partnership with Phaidon, Kering is strengthening
its commitment to women in the arts. A major priority for the Group,
Kering’s support of the empowerment of women extends into the world
of arts and culture through the Women In Motion program. This
support also manifests through the Kering Foundation which has
been combating violence against women worldwide for over 10 years.
In
celebration of Great Women Artists
and with the support of Kering, Phaidon and Artspace will launch a
charitable portfolio of limited-edition prints to benefit one of the
Kering Foundation’s partners: the non-profit Promundo-US, a
leading organization in promoting gender justice, preventing violence
against women by engaging boys and men as partners with women and
girls.
The
funds raised by Phaidon and Artspace, will support the
launch of a Boyhood Campaign and Initiative co-developed by
Promundo and the Kering Foundation, alongside other
partners, including those focused on girls’ empowerment. The Boyhood
Campaign and Initiative will shift the media and social narrative
around manhood and boyhood in the US and globally, and will support
parents, educators, coaches, and media makers with the resources they
need to raise, teach, coach, and set an example for boys to become
equitable and connected men. This will begin in the US with future
expansion to other countries.
The
limited portfolio of prints was commissioned exclusively for this
project and features six artists and six unique prints, each in an
edition of 100. Cecily Brown, Lubaina Himid, Bharti Kher,
Catherine Opie, Jenny Saville, and Dana Schutz have
contributed to the portfolio, which seeks to raise close to $1
million for Promundo. Prints by these contemporary artists are
scarcely available, and this well-rounded portfolio offers collectors
the opportunity to acquire works at an accessible price while
supporting a worthy cause.
The
portfolio retails for $9,000 for the suite of six, and $1,500 for an
individual print. The prints will be made available for sale
beginning on October 2nd exclusively on
artspace.com/greatwomenartists.
In
addition, Kering, Phaidon and Artspace will host a number of public
and private events, including a dinner and panel discussion in New
York. A special video series featuring interviews of artists Maya
Lin and Pat Steir in their studios will be produced and
launched in conjunction with the partnership.
Great Women Artists is now available for sale online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, WalMart, and Phaidon, as well as at select brick-and-mortar stores.
A
global Luxury group, Kering manages the development of a series of
renowned Houses in Fashion, Leather Goods, Jewelry and Watches:
Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen,
Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, Dodo, Qeelin, Ulysse Nardin,
Girard-Perregaux, as well as Kering Eyewear. By placing
creativity at the heart of its strategy, Kering enables its Houses to
set new limits in terms of their creative expression while crafting
tomorrow’s Luxury in a sustainable and responsible way. We capture
these beliefs in their signature: “Empowering Imagination“.
Since
2008, the Kering Foundation has sought to combat the violence
that affects all cultures and all social classes. To maximize its
impact, the Foundation works hand in hand with a limited number of
local partners in the three main regions where the Group operates:
the American continent, Western Europe and Asia.
The
Foundation supports local survivor-centered organizations that
provide comprehensive services to women, and, since 2018, has begun
working with younger generations, particularly young men and boys, to
combat violence against women through prevention programs like
Promundo in the United States and Gendes in Mexico.
The
Foundation also seeks to change behaviors within Kering and in
society in general. It offers training sessions on domestic violence
for Kering employees and created, in 2018, alongside the FACE
Foundation, “One in Three Women“, the first
European network of companies engaged against gender-based violence.
The Foundation also organizes international awareness campaigns
(White Ribbon For Women, on the occasion of the International
Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women), all the while
involving Kering’s 35,000 employees worldwide.

Promundo,
whose name means “for the world,” was founded in 1997 in
Brazil with the belief that gender equality is a social “good”
for the world, and that overcoming gender inequalities and patriarchy
and advancing gender justice is necessary for women, men, children,

work with men and boys – as partners with women, girls and other
gender identities – to put an end to gender-based discrimination.

entertainment industry for nearly 100 years, having collaborated with
Hollywood’s finest costume and set designers, most recently for
Rocketman and The Greatest Showman..

Andrew Roberts, John Monsky, Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation to be Honored at New-York Historical Society’s Annual History Makers Gala Tuesday, October 29, 2019
The
New-York Historical Society will present the 2019 History
Makers Award to historian Andrew Roberts, author of the
acclaimed book, Churchill: Walking with Destiny. The gala will
take place on October 29, 2019, at Cipriani 42nd Street.
New-York Historical Trustee John Monsky will receive the
New-York Historical Society Distinguished Service Award, and
the Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation will receive the
New-York Historical Society Medal of Merit for Public Engagement.
“D-Day
was the pivotal moment of World War II and arguably the single most
important morning of the 20th century,” said Pam Schafler,
chair of New-York Historical’s Board of Trustees. “This year’s
honorees have each played a crucial role in illuminating that moment
in history, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. Andrew
Roberts’ book, Churchill: Walking with Destiny, makes it clear that
there likely would never have been a D-Day without Churchill’s
fierce, and often solitary, obstinacy. Bob Hope was the
personification of the American ‘good heart’ and ‘good
friendship’ that kept soldiers in the fight and home front
audiences confident and supportive. John Monsky, through his singular
D-Day multi-media program, has brought that fateful day, and the
weeks and months that followed, to life.”
The
funds raised at the History Makers Gala benefit education
programs at New-York Historical that annually serve more than 200,000
New York City public school students. Past recipients of the History
Makers Award include Jim Dale (2018), William J. Bratton
and Rikki Klieman (2017), Ken Burns and Ric Burns (2016),
Ron Chernow and Lin-Manuel Miranda (2015), Hillary Clinton
(2014), David Petraeus (2013), Wynton Marsalis and Walter
Isaacson (2012), and Henry Kissinger (2011), among others.
2019

Andrew
Roberts has written or edited 12 books, which have been translated
into 18 languages, and appears regularly on radio and television
around the world. His biography of Sir Winston Churchill, Churchill:
Walking with Destiny, was published fall 2018 and entered the
New York Times bestseller list after being described by the Wall
Street Journal, New York Times, and several British papers as the
best biography of Churchill ever written. Based in London, he is an
accomplished public speaker. He is presently a Visiting Professor
at the War Studies Department at King’s College, London; the

Talbots
partners with six internationally renowned female artists to design a
limited-edition silk scarf collection with proceeds benefiting their
new partner, Susan G. Komen®
Retailing
$79.50, 20% of the net proceeds (at least $12) from each scarf
benefits Komen’s Breast Care Helpline, with a guaranteed maximum
donation of $50,000.
Talbots
has created its second “The Art of the Scarf” Collection
with six internationally renowned female artists who each
designed a limited-edition one-of-a-kind silk scarf that tells a
story. Full of colorful metaphors and meaning, the scarves evoke
emotion with vibrant symbols of hope, resilience, strength and
courage. This collection also celebrates Talbots first partnership
with the world’s leading breast cancer organization, Susan G.
Komen®, in the fight against breast cancer. The
collection was designed by each artist using the silk scarf as a
canvas to honor those who have been affected by breast cancer and
will be available from Sept.
23, 2019 to Oct.
31, 2019.
Talbots logo
The
female artists selected includes:
Lulu
DK(Los
Angeles, CA)
– “Feminine but strong, like all the women I love and admire,
particularly my mom who passed from breast cancer six years ago. I
love painting flowers because they represent Mother Nature’s greatest
gift – color and natural beauty; both symbols of how I remember my
mother.”
Libby
VanderPloeg(Grand
Rapids, MI) –
“I’ve seen in my own circle of family and friends that when
women work together, support each other, and essentially lift each
other up, we all climb to greater heights. This artwork is a
celebration of the power of sisterhood in overcoming challenges and
achieving our goals.”
Gladys
Perint Palmer(San
Francisco, CA) –
“My inspiration was diverse, strong women who have emerged
recently though they have been around for centuries. I think about
the best-dressed socialite and writer Pauline de Rothschild who
remarked, ‘wit is on the head where it belonged.’ Let us celebrate
strong, witty women and over-the-top hats.”
Martha
Napier(Chicago,
IL) – “My
mom is a breast cancer survivor. What I think is so interesting about
her journey is she says that the year she underwent treatment was
not her worst year by a ‘long shot.’ She credits this to the fact
that her friends surrounded her with love, cards, visits, trips to
treatment, etc. She says these same friendships have lasted 20 years
and are ‘ever strong.’ For my design, you will see a collection of
joyous, colorful, strong women. No matter if they look like the
illustrations or not, somehow women from all walks of life seem to
identify with my strong, colorful fashion girls.”
Nadia
Flower(New
Zealand) –
“My inspiration comes from nature. My design represents the idea
of growth, strength and beauty through the intertwining of natural
elements. I wanted to represent the diversity of women through
different foliage, feathers and colors.”
Carolina
Melis(Cagliari,
Italy) –
“My design represents strength and courage. Just like the Lotus
flowers rise out of mud, we need to be strong to persevere and
overcome the difficulties in life.”
“The Art of the Scarf” Collection will be available at http://www.Talbots.com and in Talbots stores nationwide and in Canada.
In
the spirit of women helping women, Talbots will donate 20% of the net
proceeds (at least $12) to Komen from each “The Art of the
Scarf” Collection item sold from Sept. 23, 2019, to Oct. 31,
2019, in support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Care Helpline.
“Talbots
is deeply committed to making a difference in the fight to end breast
cancer. We are thrilled to join forces with our new partner, Susan G.
Komen, for our Art of the Scarf collection that celebrates strength
and resilience. Six renowned, female artists have created vibrant,
emotional works of art that can be worn, collected or gifted. We are
confident that our scarf collection will resonate with all women,
while also knowing that their purchase will make a difference to
those affected by breast cancer,” said Deborah Cavanagh,
SVP, Marketing and CMO of Talbots
Susan
G. Komen® is the world’s leading nonprofit breast cancer
organization, working to save lives and end breast cancer forever.

without breast cancer, we look forward to the beginning of a long,
impactful relationship with Talbots,” said Christina
