nAscent has committed 20% of the profits from art sales to Action Against Hunge, an international humanitarian aid organization specializing in emergency situations including war, conflict, natural disasters and longer-term assistance to people in distress. Were thrilled to be working with Action Against Hunger, said James Wallace, nAscent President and co-founder. Theyre a global organization recognized for fighting hunger and malnutrition. Besides having immense talent, the emerging artists participating are excited that some of the sales of their work will help people truly in need. nAscent, led by 22 year-old CEO and Director of Art Jennifer Baron, reviewed over 2,200 pieces of art from over 500 artists before settling on the artists participating in the auction. A sampling of the work can be seen at nascentartny.com. Many of the artists have done exhibitions in the city, but some have never shown work before. The artists represent a range of genres and media, so everyone will see something that speaks to them. Every piece is worthy

of hanging in someones home, office, private collection, or gallery, said Baron. nAscent Art New York grew from a passion for art. The founders, Jennifer Baron and James Wallace, have realized a vision of creativity, commerce, and good karma. nAscent finds the best of the new in a variety of genres and media, bringing everything together at auction. More importantly, nAscent gives art fans the opportunity to create incentives for artists to continue creating amazing art, and to preserve the legacy of art for the future. nAscent wants people to have fun, appreciate the sacrifices of the artists, and, most of allto buy art.
