Art appreciation 101 with Kristin Davis, Erika Christensen, Eva Amurri, Alexandra Richards, Daniel Merriweather, and Leven Rambin. (How's that for name-dropping?)

I love the promise of a night in New York. May has ushered in warm weather, outdoor parties, late nights with little clothing, weekend retreats, and more recently, the premiere of Sex and the City (more on that later). Escaping from work last night, with what feels like miles of hours to play before me, I step out of the cab into the cool spring evening on 22nd Street. Before me is the historic Dia Gallery where Lola New York, SelfPortrait.net, and BlackBook are feting emerging artists at Fingerpaint, a silent auction event, the proceeds of which go to Brad Pitt’s Make it Right Foundation.
