David Welker Charity Reception for The Mockingbird Foundation at the Hoerle-Guggenheim Gallery

Please join David for a special reception at the Hoerle-Guggenheim Gallery in celebration of his acclaimed Subconcious Narratives show. A special limited edition print and new original art will be released at the reception, with proceeds to benefit The Mockingbird Foundation. Refreshments will be served, art will be sold and appreciated, and both David and representatives from Mockingbird will be there to hang out and enjoy your company.

When: Wednesday, 12/30/15. Noon - 4pm.
Where: Hoerle-Guggenheim Gallery, 527 West 23rd Street, NYC

NEW ART: A special very limited edition print titled "Rutherford Drowned Again" will be available at the reception, with proceeds to benefit Mockingbird. This 2-layer Line Art Variant of David's "Rutherford" measures 22" x 17", and is a super-limited hand-pulled edition of 50. This will ONLY be sold at the gallery reception, no online sales. In addition, David will be making available on 12/30 previously unseen original art for sale. Any pieces purchased during the reception, either at the gallery or via David's website, will see a portion of the sales price donated to Mockingbird.

Also available at the reception from The Mockingbird Foundation will be a new Rutherford basketball jersey, created in conjunction with David Welker and Boyer Art. This will be the first opportunity to get your fingers on and torso into this awesome new limited edition jersey, so be sure to come down to the gallery before hitting the Phish show!
