Holiday Party at Eric Firestone launches Benefit Show for artcritical’s Redesign Campaign

by David Cohen

Each year, artcritical hosts its legendary holiday party in a new location: No, we weren’t that badly behaved last time! It is to spread the love. This year we were graciously hosted by Eric Firestone Loft, and as they were between shows, we put up our own. This was a chance to showcase the creativity of our associates and raise much needed funds for our redesign campaign, set for unveiling in the spring.

What with finessing the installation and a checklist of 41 artists (who are also editors, writers, interns and staff at artcritical and/or guest speakers on The Review Panel) I managed to forget to secure the services of a photographer. Luckily several guests had cell phones to hand, and extra shots have found their way to us via social media. An ad hoc arrangement which fits nicely with the collective and impromptu nature of the show.
