Recently, Quintessentially joined forces with SOS Children’s Villages and the W.H Patterson Gallery for a private viewing of a magnificent collection of oils and watercolours. The proceeds from the night’s events went to SOS Children’s Villages, the world’s largest charity dedicated to providing a safe and bright environment for orphaned and abandoned children.
At 7 pm guests wandered into The Salmagundi Club, a lovely mid-nineteenth century building housing works of fine art, where they perused paintings that ranged from Venetian landscapes to realist still life. As a piano played softly in the background, guests nibbled on canapés, sipped on drinks and mingled with fellow art connoisseurs. Martin Taylor, one of the featured artists, was spotted having a lively discussion about his method-painting with one of our fellow Quintessentially members. To wrap up the evening, the President of the Salmagundi Club raffled off Clive McCartney’s picturesque oil painting of Bryant Park to one of our lucky guests. A truly special event, for a truly wonderful cause.
