RPAF promotes the exposure of art to youth throughout the inner cities of New York City while supporting emerging artists with exhibition opportunities.

The 2016 Art for Life Benefit honors stars including journalist Soledad O’Brien, Star Jones, Buzzfeed’s Frank Cooper III, Bad Boy Entertainment’s James Cruz, and BET’s Debra L. Lee.

Anthony Anderson, star of “Blackish,” will serve as the night’s emcee.

Past honorees and supporters of RPAF’s Art for Life Benefit include Kimora Lee Simmons, Nick Cannon, Tyler Perry, Edward Norton, Oprah, Will Smith, Kelly Ripa, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

This year’s benefit features CharityBuzz online auction experiences including a chance to meet Amy Schumer and tickets to attend the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Everyone can support the organization by bidding online starting July 7th at charitybuzz.com/artforlife.

Also, Art For Life partner Artspace will also showcase Rush Philanthropic Art Foundation’s 20thAnniversary Portfolio. To purchase art and support RPAF, you can visit the Artspace website.

All proceeds from the benefit and the related auctions benefit RPAF’s arts education and gallery programs, which directly serve the inner-city youth of NYC.
