Martin Lawrence Galleries at The Forum Shops at Caesars is showcasing its flagship 26,000 square foot gallery (Las Vegas’ home to the masters and the best of the contemporaries) to create Las Vegas’ first-ever Art of The Party on Saturday, July 21 from 7 – 11 p.m. Celebrating its one year anniversary in Las Vegas, Martin Lawrence is partnering with UMC’s Trauma and Burn Care Center and will donate 100% of the $25 ticket price to support the life-saving work of UMC’s Trauma and Burn Care Center, Nevada’s only Level 1 trauma facility. Tickets can easily be purchased online at www.theartoftheparty.eventbrite.com.
With art ranging from Warhol to Chagall to Rembrandt, The Art of the Party will celebrate artistic achievement in many variations; highlights of the event include the unveiling of major historical works of art including two works by Alexander Calder, one of which previously hung in the atrium at Lincoln Center, The Art of Chocolate by Max Brenner – Chocolate by the Bald Man, The Art of Beauty by Sephora and The Art of The Cocktail by Van Gogh Vodka. Performance artists including The Bumbys will also be on hand for the festivities, as well as artful music, entertainment, food and drinks.
Also, for the first time ever in Las Vegas, acclaimed artists including Philippe Bertho, Robert Deyber, Franҫois Fressinier, Kerry Hallam, Douglas Hofmann, Liudmila Kondakova, René Lalonde, Felix Mas and others will gather in one place for the evening’s celebration.
“The reason we have created this amazing retail space is to showcase works of art for every level of collector,” said Gallery Director Stacie Goulet. “Even more important for us is the ability to draw on art to support the community. We are thrilled to be partnering with UMC on this event. When we learned of the incredible service that UMC Trauma and Burn Care Center provides to the city we wanted to not only bring greater awareness to their efforts, but also support them by making our anniversary a fundraiser for their program. We are giving 100% of the ticket sales from the evening to UMC, so we are hoping we sell-out!”
“We are extremely honored that Martin Lawrence Galleries is generously donating the ticket sales from their magnificent Art of the Party event to the UMC Trauma and Burn Care Center,” said UMC CEO Brian Brannman. “Our Trauma and Burn Care Center patients and families realize the caliber of care we provide through their own personal experience, and to be recognized on top of that through this very kind gesture by the prestigious Martin Lawrence Galleries will enable us to continue providing the highest level of care to our entire community.”
