Wolf Home x Art Markit Pop-Up Shop 8/21-9/20

ANYONE that truly knows me, is well aware that I worked with Keith Haring as a young teen, attended LaGuardia High School, hold a BFA and am also a Graffiti Hunter. When a darling friend heard of this Pop-Up Shop- she contacted me immediately.....

Celebrate the unique collaboration of art and design this Summer with the launch of Wolf Home x Art Markit Pop-Up Shop from August 21 – September 20, 2014 at Wolf Home’s flagship store located in the heart of the Flat Iron district on 936 Broadway and 22nd Street. The Wolf Home x Art Markit Pop-Up shop will create an atmosphere that highlights works of established and emerging artists that merge art and home décor.

Catering to contemporary art enthusiasts while promoting arts awareness to the masses, the pop-up store provides access to affordable objects created by renowned and emerging artists, all in one convenient location. There will be an array of designs displayed, and all items on site will be available for purchase. Featured items include products by Keith Haring, Andy Warhol, Kenny Scharf, Baron Von Fancy, Shantell Martin, and more.

Wolf Home’s vision of becoming a one-stop design center is further supported by its partnership with Art Markit. With Art
Markit’s collaborative experience with home goods and artists, Warren Kay, founder of Wolf Home, sees this event as an ideal initiative to expand their consumer reach to the arts market.

Bernadette Thompson's Pop Up Shop

I adore the talent, kindness, generosity and everything that has made Bernadette Thompson the well known celebrity manicurist she is today. From Hip- Hop to haute couture, her clients include Beyonce Knowles, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Iman, and Charlize Theron just to name a few. She is asked for by name on set and has such a lovely demeanor I was excited to see her nail collection as well as the many talented traveling artists some of which she has taken with her on a 17 city tour showcasing her own collection in her very own pop up shop.

I was delighted to meet wonderful talents such as AstroWifey ( whom I found out that we have a friend in common, the Founder of www.polishedgirlz.org), @Nailsbymztina, @Kandiyamz, @thenailpicasso, @hernailsrock, @briannaaqueeno and so many more talented artists (these are their Instagram names by the way). 

Here are just a few pics from the event that took place here in NYC.
