New York, NY – Heart for Hart is a fundraiser and art auction for artist Heather Hart and her current battle with breast cancer. The event will be hosted by Reggie Watts and Lady Rizo, and will feature works by Martha Rosler, Oliver Herring, Stephen Westfall, Terry Adkins, Hank Willis Thomas, Mike Cloud, Rico Gatson, Mickalene Thomas, Saya Woolfalk, Simone Leigh, Tim Okamura, Jazz-minh Moore, Pablo Helguera, Trong Gia Nguyen, William Cordova, Jamel Shabazz and many more.
Heather Hart is a Brooklyn-based installation artist who in June 2011 was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Since her diagnosis, Heather has undergone several surgeries in addition to radiation and months of chemotherapy treatment to tackle the disease. Unfortunately, even with insurance, the costs involved with these treatments are astronomical. Family, friends and peers of Heather Hart have organized the Heart for Hart fundraiser and art auction as a way to help to cover medical expenses associated with her breast cancer treatment.
An array of diversely talented artists and creatives have banded together by generously donating their time, efforts and artwork in the support of raising money for the Heart for Hart fundraiser and art auction. This committee calls upon the support of the greater creative community to stand behind one woman’s perseverance, determination and resolve to overcome life’s obstacles through achieving a dream.
HOST COMMITTEE:
Christopher Cook, David Antonio Cruz, Derrick Adams, Elizabeth Axtman, Elizabeth Sporleder, Espenranza Mayobre, Hank Willis Thomas, Heeseaop Yoon, Jazzminh Moore, Jeff Sims, Joseph Robbins, Kambui Olujimi, Kirk VanWormer, Larry Ossei-Mensah, Mickalene Thomas, Natasha L. Logan, Saami Sabiti, and Shinique Smith
