Toy Tokyo benefit art show/auction for Japan disaster relief

 

Tonight was the opening reception for an art show benefiting disaster relief efforts in Japan. The show is being hosted at the Toy Tokyo Underground Gallery, which is right next door to Toy Tokyo in New York. The pieces on display will be auctioned on Ebay (auction details below) on Monday, with 100% of proceeds going towards 3/11 earthquake and tsunami relief efforts.

The venue, located on 91 2nd Ave. in Manhattan.

Plenty of folks were there at 7:00 PM waiting for the doors to open.

Donations, which got you a raffle ticket, were taken at the door. 100% of proceeds will go to the Japan Red Cross.

In the middle of it all, Greg Mishka and Lamour Supreme (and a few other artists who rolled up) worked on an installation piece, which will also be auctioned off for the relief effort.

The piece got more and more detailed as the night went on.
