VandM Hits the 1500 Gallery

As an installment of VandM’s VIP Summer of Art and Photography, VandM’s party, which also doubled as an exhibition and charity event, at the 1500 Gallery at 511 West 25th Street #607 in New York was a great success. The proceeds from this event benefited the BrazilFoundation, and the evening supported Latin art, which is the 1500 Gallery’s specialty. From 7 to 10 PM on Wedneday July 13th, guests were treated to an evening of drinks, music, food, fine art, and good company.

The event was made possible by VandM’s various co-hosts, interior designer Richard A. Baquero, Bobo restaurant owner Carlos Suarez, and artist Lucia Warck Meister. Among those in attendance were the owners of the 1500 Gallery, Andrew S. Klug and Alexandre Bueno de Moraes; R. Adam Smith; Eve Kryzynowski; Robert W.
