MULTI-MEDIA EVENT/SILENT
AUCTION
Writer Jon Hart called
Mickey Ruskin, "One of New York's greatest
impresarios of the night," noting that, "With
his demise, New York lost one of its greatest restaurateurs
and staunchest supporters of the arts." (NewYork
Times 5/11/03) His compassion, generosity and humanitarianism
were demonstrated by his efforts to help struggling
artists who he considered part of his extended family.
May 16th marked the 20th Anniversary ofMickey's
death (1933-1983).
The Max's Kansas City
Project in association with FEVA (Federation for
East Village Artists) will host a Benefit Party/Silent
Auction as a Tribute to Mickey. (Venue TBA) The
nonprofit organization was established in his memory
(June 2001) to foster the spirit inherent in his
philosophy of helping artists in need.
Honoring Mickey at the
event, and in support of the efforts of the nonprofit
will be guest Hosts: Kathy Lacey, Mickey's widow,
and his adult children, among others.
The nonprofit organization
is dedicated to providing Emergency Funding &
Resources for financially distressed individuals
in the creative arts for housing, medical aid and
legal aid, prioritizing our max's kansas city extended
family. (We have helped several individuals in need
of assistance).
Equally as important,
we educate youth and communities on the negative
effects of substance abuse & addiction through
workshops, inspirational guidance, and assistance
in building confidence and a stronger self image.
Some of the artists
include Andy Warhol. Richard Serra, Sol LeWitt,
Marisol, William Wegman, Dennis Oppenheim, John
Chamberlain, Patrick McMullen, David Johansen, Larry
Bell, Mick Rock.
