Artist’s friends rally round for charity auction

The artist Enoc Perez is hosting an online charity auction to benefit the Sandy Hook Promise, a non-profit aimed at curbing gun violence which is named after the tragic 2012 shooting in the Connecticut elementary school. Perez asked his artist friends— Richard Dupont, Carlos Rolón/Dzine, Rashid Johnson, BP Laval, Angel Otero, Ryan McGinness, and Marcel Dzama—to donate works (nine pieces in total have been consigned). Sandy Hook Promise’s mission is “to prevent gun-related deaths due to crime, suicide, and accidental discharge so that no other parent experiences the senseless, horrific loss of their child”. The charity was co-founded by Nicole Hockley, whose first grade son Dylan was among 20 children killed in the shooting. “This isn’t a political issue, but something completely real,” Perez says in a statement. The auction runs on Paddle8 until 1 August. Go to: https://paddle8.com/auction/sandy-hook-promise/
