IT’S NOT VERSAILLES, BUT ART BENEFIT HELPS AT-RISK KIDS
Kirsten Dunst was the queen of the Art of Elysium’s annual Art Benefit at the Minotti gallery Dec.2. The charity links artists with at-risk children. Supporters Ali Larter, Rebecca Gayheart, Patricia Arquette and Thomas Jane, Clea Duvall, Michelle Trachtenberg, Constance Zimmer, and Johnny Depp’s UTA agent Tracey Jacobs admired art and sipped bubbly mixed with Motley Bird, a hip Euro energy drink compared to “doing a speedball.” Canvas bags painted by Elysium’s kids, photo’s of iconic ‘60's rockers taken by legendary Woodstock photog Henry Diltz, and many photos transformed by pop artist Russell Young into huge, colorful silkscreens raised funds fast.
