NEW YORK, N.Y. /eNewsChannels/ — Fashion, design and art are uniting for a great cause, and now art collectors everywhere can get in on the action at 20×200.com. In support of Housing Works Thrift Shop’s Design on a Dime fundraising event, the pioneering art e-commerce site 20×200 announced it will release a limited-edition print by renowned style commentator and Barneys New York Creative Ambassador-at-Large Simon Doonan. Doonan’s art print will be unveiled to 20×200’s newsletter subscribers on Thursday, May 5. Art, fashion and interior design lovers who want a sneak peek-and first dibs-at this rare print should sign up for 20×200’s newsletter.
Simon Doonan’s 20×200-exclusive print will feature the distinctive cover art from his irreverent style guide book Eccentric Glamour, which celebrates the unique personal style of women. The edition will be featured for auction at Housing Works Design on a Dime in New York from May 5 – 7, 2011. The celebrity benefit print will be on display in the “dream boudoir” room vignette designed by Iman and style expert Robert Verdi for IMAN Home.
Doonan’s benefit print through 20×200 starts at just $25. Proceeds from the sale of the benefit prints at Design on a Dime and on 20×200 will fund Housing Works’ “Get A Room,” a program that provides housing for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
20×200 offers a curated selection of affordable, limited-edition fine art prints and photographs by emerging, established and legendary artists, starting at just $20.
