Dear Friends,

We are thrilled to have you join us for the Best Buddies Art + Friendship Auction. 100% of the proceeds from tonight’s event will benefit our programs that enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through friend-ship programs, employment and leadership development. Our vision is to create a world where people with disabilities are so fully integrated into society that our services are rendered obsolete.

A Best Buddies participant shared: “Al-though my disability is part of my life, I am not my disability.” These empowering words capture the spirit of Best Buddies. As a re-sult of their involvement with our programs, people with disabilities secure rewarding jobs, live on their own, become inspirational leaders and make lifelong friendships.

Best Buddies will be celebrating 25 years of service next year. Although we have made great strides towards social inclusion for peo-ple with disabilities, there is still much work to be done. Thanks to your support, we are one step closer to reaching our goal of open-ing offices in all 50 states, expanding into 100 countries and impacting three million people worldwide by the end of 2020.

On behalf of the 800,000 people positively impacted by our programs, thank you for helping to make our dream of social inclu-sion for people with disabilities a reality.

In friendship,

Anthony K. ShriverFounder & ChairmanBest Buddies International

Oil/Pastel on newspaper

Romero Britto was born in Recife, Brazil in 1963. Self-taught at an early age, he painted on surfaces such as newspapers. In 1983, he traveled to Paris where he was introduced to the work of Matisse and Picasso. He com-bined influences from cubism with pop, to create a vibrant, iconic style that The New York Times describes, “exudes warmth, optimism and love.”

In 1988, Britto moved to Miami and emerged as an international artist. In the following year, he was selected alongside Andy Warhol and Keith Haring for Absolut Vodka’s “Absolut Art” campaign. Britto’s pop sensibility has since leant itself to many collaborations with such brands as Audi, Bentley, Disney, Technomarine, Evian and FIFA, for whom he created an official poster for the 2010 World Cup. He has also illus-trated several books published by Simon & Schuster and Rizzoli. Britto’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in over 100 countries, including the Salon de la So-ciete Nationale des Beaux-Arts exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in 2008 and 2010. He has also created public art installations for the O2 Dome (Berlin), Hyde Park (Lon-don), John F. Kennedy Airport (New York), and Cirque du Soleil at Super Bowl XLI.

Since the early 1990s, Jonathan Horowitz has made art that combines the imagery and ambivalence of Pop art with the engaged criticality of conceptualism. Often based in popular commercial sources, his satirical work in video, sculpture, photography and assemblage examines the deep-seated links between consumerism and political consciousness, as well as the political silences of postwar art. Recent solo exhibitions include Your Land/My Land: Election ‘12, presented concurrently at seven museums across the US (2012), Minimalist Works from the Holocaust Museum, Dundee Contemporary Arts, Scotland (2010), Apocalypto Now, Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2009), and the retrospective exhibition, And/Or, PS 1/ MOMA, New York (2009).

Drawing correspondences between romantic tradition and consumer culture, Karen Kilimnik’s work brings a haunting and contrary sense of beauty to contemporary art. The world of the ballet and childhood, romantic painting and pop music, icons of film and fashion, signs of witchcraft, time-travel, and murder comprise an imagery that has been culled from the historic and recent past into an unsettling present. In a world where the forces of nature, youth, and terror have taken awesome hold, Kilimnik’s art rematerializes a quest for the romantic sublime.
