New York Stands With Valencia (Fundraising event) This Tuesday, I will participate in a night of solidarity at La Nacional, a fundraiser to support Valencia. I have donated a piece I love: my "Mother Nature," a painting I created painting live in my neighborhood park for a TV show last year. Let's come together to make a difference and help those in need. See you there! “New York stands with Valencia” fundraiser event for Dana victims. A group of Valencians living in New York City have joined together to help those affected by the floods in Valencia. Under the slogan “New York stands with Valencia,” we invite you to join us next November 19th at La Nacional (239 W 14th St) for our solidarity event to raise funds for the people affected by the Dana in Valencia and in the towns of l'Horta Sud of the province. From 6 pm to 10 pm, there will be live music such as the Valencian rap of Roy Carlovich (Rawpublik), the melodic indie of Rachel Bard, a special DJ set prepared by the Catalan artist Noia, the techno jam session of the group Cable Management and the performative poetry of the Galician Marcos de la Fuente. To help alleviate the complicated situation experienced in Valencia, a charity auction of different works of art donated by local artists will be held. Food and drink will be provided by leading Spanish restaurateurs in New York, such as Paellaway, Lata, El Born Restaurant, Aiala Trenes cakes, Despaña, Catalán Gourmet, Tierra Callada, Taste of Spain, Estrella de Galicia, Moonlight City Wines and Selections de la Viña. All proceeds will go to the Fundación Horta Sud, a non-profit organization that has been doing tireless social work in the villages of L'Horta Sud since 1972. The money will be invested in rebuilding the common and private spaces of the towns most affected by the catastrophe and supporting the affected families. For more information about the event and ways to help, follow @nyc_standswithvalencia for real-time updates. Let's unite to help those who need it most. Where: 239 W 14th St, New York, NY 10011 When: Tuesday. November 19, 2024, from 6 pm to 10 pm.
