Denitia and Sene to Perform at LA Fashion Week

Great music is like fashion for the ears.

We are very pleased and excited to announce that sultry duo, Denitia and Sene will be our headlining music act at this years LA Fashion Week event on March 18th at the Avalon Hollywood.

The electro-soul twosome met while attending a party at the “Club House” in Brooklyn. After an amazing collaboration between rapper, Sene, and singer/song writer Denitia, they decided to continue on and formed their musical duo “denitia and sene”. With their debut album landing at #11 on iTunes R&B chart in 2013 and another planned for winter 2014, they are definitely an act to follow.

Check out their performance on March 18th, 2013 at Avalon. Purchase your tickets here!

Vincent

Art for the Masses

Florida born artist Vincent Serritella is on a mission to make art accessible for everyone. After attending the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, Serritella spread his wings in the art world but found something rather disturbing. Art had become “out of reach for the general public” said Serritella. It was no longer valued as a form of expression and beauty, rather a commodity for barter.

So, Serritella set out on Project 365 where original art could become accessible for everyone. Everyday, for an entire year, Serritella created and gave away an original drawing. During this time he created a book documenting the pieces and his journey. His kick starter campaign to fund the production for 1,000 books is underway now!
