We’ve been good art patrons all week, but it’s time to create some art of our own. Don’t worry, we’re not going to finally start working on that novel. We are, however, going to join the brave crew of painters unconcerned with getting ochre on their Louboutin soles at the Publicolor benefit. Guests are to create their own works of art (don’t worry, Tyvek jumpsuits are provided to protect your togs!) in groups led by the likes of designer Nicole Miller and noted spouse Ed Schlossberg. At the end, all the works will be auctioned off to benefit New York public school students. We’re boning up on our Bob Ross so that our painting will be both beautiful and tasteful!
