Images of LOVE
Annual Photo Auction Fundraiser
Wednesday April 21st, 2010
320 Park Avenue (cross street 51st)
35th Floor
Mutual of America building
6-9pm
LOVE is proud to honor The Nicole Schiffman Foundation at the Images of LOVE 2010 gala and photo auction. Representing the foundation are the founders, Nicole’s mother, father and sister, Cheryl, Ron and Lindsey Schiffman. A special exhibit will be created by LOVE youth in Nicole’s honor.
“The The Nicole Schiffman Foundation was created after the untimely death of a beautiful young woman at the age of nineteen. While visiting her friend in Arizona to help celebrate her 20th birthday Nicole’s life came to a tragic end due to the irrational thoughts and conflicted emotions of a misguided young man, who had easy access to guns and no one to turn to for help. As Nicole’s family we couldn’t stand back and let this pass as a senseless crime so we created the foundation to honor her legacy. Nicole was a person who made sure to listen and understand what others were going through and who made each person feel special always recognizing their own unique qualities. It is for this reason that we decided to partner with the organization LOVE, who also has the mission to reach out to troubled youth in today's violent society and give them the self worth that they need through programs of the arts.”
-Cheryl Schiffman, co-founder of The Nicole Schiffman Foundation and Nicole's mother.
Since partnering with LOVE in 2008, The Nicole Schiffman Foundation has funded the launch of our Summer Video Workshop and our Video Media Center. The NSF also provides funding for our new program space; the Nicole Schiffman center for LOVE youth which is the heart of our programs; it is the safe space LOVE youth congregate to attend workshops and develop their skills to carry out LOVE’s mission.

Photography will take on new meaning starting Tuesday, February 27, 2007 in Midtown Manhattan.

Photography will not only tell a story through each individual photograph, but it will collectively

DESIGN 21: Social Design Network.
LOVE has partnered with Seeds of Peace and renowned photographer
Jacques de Mélo to create a stunning exhibit of photographs.
In the LOVE portion of the exhibit, New York Photographer Mariette Papic lead our youth on an expedition
of transformation. The photographs tell of the youths’ journey by subway to many diverse NYC neighborhoods.
Also featured is a selection of photographs from De Mélo’s “Profil” series that focuses on today’s immigrants.
De Mélo took over 100 portraits of immigrants: Italian; Portuguese; Algerian; Moroccan; Polish; Turkish;
Kurdish; Africans; Asians; people from around the world who settled in urban, industrial regions of France.
All the photographs are hand printed in platinum and palladium.
Also look out for an article on the exhibit in the April issue of the art photography magazine,
FOCUS magazine.
