FUNDRAISER RAFFLE begins at 6:30pm SHARP at the event on Saturday April 29th at: Ortega y Gasset Projects, 363 3rd Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11215

Ortega y Gasset Projects is thrilled to announce Ortega y Gasset Projects’ 10 Year Anniversary Fundraiser Event, taking place on Saturday, April 29th from 6-9pm. The event includes a live raffle of 100 donated artworks by artists within OyG’s extensive community, and the unveiling of a limited-edition exquisite corpse poster by current and former OyG co-directors. The event takes place at OyG Projects in Gowanus, Brooklyn and is hosted by New York City drag legend Linda Simpson. The exhibition of donated works is open to the public for a preview weekend of Saturday April 22nd and Sunday April 23rd, 1-6pm both days.

OyG Projects is a community-supported organization whose mission is to forge new connections between artists and viewers. The art raffle offers participants a chance to take home original artwork by an artist they have long admired, or have just discovered! Participants receive a number upon entry to the event. Art is selected as numbers are called at random. Selected art is professionally handled and packed at the event for immediate take-away. Surprise, discovery, and excitement are all part of the process as participants await their chance to select!

OyG Projects is an artist-run organization. In the spirit of collaboration and to commemorate 10 years, current and former OyG co-directors come together to produce a 21-century version of the celebrated Surrealist party game exquisite corpse. Historically, exquisite corpse is made by a group of artists drawing on different sections of a folded paper, blind to one another’s work. Surprising and unlikely connections between drawings are revealed when the paper is unfolded. OyG’s exquisite corpse is digitally made and printed as a foldable poster to be distributed at the event to all ticket-holders. OyG Projects Exquisite Corpse is directed by Eric Hibit with the participation of Lauren Frances Adams, Joshua Bienko, Leeza Meksin, Nickola Pottinger, Sheilah ReStack, Adam Liam Rose, Sarah Rushford, Zahar Vaks, Lauren Whearty, and Karla Wozniak.

Ortega y Gasset Projects was born in 2013 when a group of artists brainstormed how to embrace their circumstances and thrive as artists, curators, and community members. Working collaboratively, the founding members of Ortega y Gasset Projects embarked on an experimental venture to start an artist-run gallery and exhibit the work of their peers. The founding members of OyG Projects include Lauren Frances Adams, Joshua Bienko, Clare Britt, Carrie Hott, Jessica Langley, Leeza Meksin, Sheilah ReStack and Karla Wozniak.

Over the past 10 years, OyG Projects has grown from a humble start-up (funded mainly with Co-director dues) to a thriving institution on the forefront of the visual arts with support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, NYC Cultural Development Fund, New York State Council on the Arts, The NYC Cultural Development Fund, Oregon Community Foundation, and Joseph Robert Foundation. With a program focused on emerging and under-represented artists, OyG Projects continues to create opportunities for scores of artists of diverse background, sensibility, exhibition experience, and vision.

OyG Projects’ 10 Year Anniversary Fundraiser Event is organized by Eric Hibit with assistance from Clare Britt, Catherine Haggarty, Will Hutnick, Leeza Meksin, Nickola Pottinger, Adam Liam Rose, Zahar Vaks, and Lauren Whearty.
