Allied’s First Collector’s Party a Success!

Allied Productions held its first Collectors Party organized by Katya Borkov and Allied volunteers at White Box. A fundraising initiative in anticipation of Allied’s 45th! Anniversary next year, the one night only event featured an online auction with experiences offered such as a tarot card reading with Sarah Schulman, tickets to see John Cameron Mitchell, pizza at Two Boots with Justin Vivian Bond and an array of fine art generously donated by Pamela Sneed, Martha Edelheit, Kembra Pfahler, Michelle Handelman, Haley Hughes, Dietmar Busse, Sur Rodney Sur, Peter Cramer and Jack Waters. Attendees were treated to wine, beer and kombucha donated thanks to efforts by Felix Reyes and a video presentation of Allied’s history of events and projects compiled by Bruna Braga and Rose Knopper.
