Top fine artists exhibited their works on the East End in an effort to raise awareness for “Harlem Public Arts Project,” on Saturday, July 15th. The event took place at Victor Ozeri’s waterfront estate “Victorville by the Sea,” and was hosted by founder and Creative Director, Pierre Voltaire, who has made a stellar reputation in the arts with over 25 years of experience, primarily as a design director. Voltaire’s curriculum vitae includes working with top brands such as Calvin Klein Men’s Wear, National Geographic Men’s Travel Collection, London Fog, Perry Ellis, Free Country, and Wrangler, just to name a few.

In addition, the event was hosted by multi media talent and socialite, Dama Princess Angelique Monét, an East Hampton resident and community builder of world peace through the arts on the East End and internationally. Guests enjoyed a full day’s experience of fine art, summer BBQ styled cuisine, and music by Jazz veteran Chuck Fowler And Trio.

“It was great to see attendees from Harlem and all over the tri-state area coming together to support our organization, Harlem Public Arts Project” said Pierre Voltaire.

Eight fine artists participated in the event and a percentage of sales went to fund the organization’s initiatives and upcoming projects. The artists included Brana Dane (USA)
Ernanie Silva (Brazil, USA), Gina Samson (USA), Mark Sublett (USA), Robert Carter (USA Ron Draper (USA), and Vernon McAuley (USA)

The lineup included “13 year old” Taylor Armstead who contributed to the successful auction with her fine art work. Her participation brought a youthful dimension to an event that featured works of esteemed fine artists and luxury fashion accessories designers.
Dama Princess Angelique Monét closed the evening by bringing the guests together for a “Unity and Peace” song  with story telling and a Tribute to Ancestors of Native American, African and European.

Monét also sang and taught the audience an African American Negro Spiritual in which the audience chanted and used their bodies as percussions like African and Native Americans ancestors over 400 years ago. Musician Chuck Fowler spoke of the Cherokee Indians and also chanted Native American harmonies. The tributes were followed by a moment of silence.
