Mick Du Russel Host Benefit for ALS

Ripe Art Gallery is proud to host a special group show presented by Mick Du Russel titled “That’s Entertainment: Hollywood’s Golden Age”, to benefit the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig ALS Research Center at Columbia University in NYC. This show and sale will be a fundraiser for ALS research as medical science continues to push forward to find a cure.  The exhibition is from an open call to all artists, national and international, and will be a rare opportunity to view and buy original art work from many local and celebrity artists. The estate of TONY CURTIS is entering four pieces.

Opening on Saturday, August 6, 2011 with a reception from 5-8pm featuring artist, Shannon MacDonald, doing a LIVE painting in the gallery. Shannon is widely regarded as The World’s Greatest Beatles Artist. A name bestowed upon her by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool in 1998. Shannon started her Beatles artwork by entering a 1990 Beatles Art Contest in New York where she won the first prize. She began to tour Beatles festivals around the world with just an Iwata Airbrush and Electric Eraser, painting at live events to showcase her Beatles artwork. Her success was immediately recognized across the globe, especially in Liverpool.
