NYC's Smile Design Gallery Partners with Alexander Gilkes, Haute Living, & Paddle8 for Auction Today

Today, June 25th, Auctioneer Alexander Gilkes, Paddle8.com, Haute Living and Dr. Lee Gause join forces at Provocateur to whet the appetites of art collectors across the tri-state area. Hosting works for sale from Chi Modu, Takashi Murakami, Angelo Romano, Robert Peterson and UR New York, the hope is to turn the $100K of charitable dentistry done to date into millions to benefit uninsured families through Smile Design Gallery.

Smile Design Gallery is a social enterprise that provides free dental care to people in need by employing the sales of art to provide free dentistry for children and communities who otherwise could not afford it. With a wealth of celebrity support from the likes of Swizz Beatz, Kris Humphries, Angela Simmons and more, Smile Design Gallery has grown exponentially over the last year. Supporting The Bowery Mission, Urban Promise and WSFSSH, Smile Design Gallery has provided free dentistry for over 400 people in 1 year's time.

Special Guest Swizz Beatz is a well-known art enthusiast and avid collector of Warhol, Basquiat and Ernie Barnes to name a few. A supporter of Robert Peterson, Swizz first attended a Smile Design Gallery showcase display featuring the works of Murakami. He will be our special guest and in attendance on the 25th to show continued support for Smile Design Gallery.

"I am a believer that social enterprise will move the great masses of humanity forward. American children did not ask to be born in the poorest city in the country. These kids want laughter, compassion, and love. How do you monetize that? The social enterprise becomes the market for love. If we really want a world that works for everyone, with nothing, and no one left out. Then charitable giving has to be a serious part of our conversation." - Dr. Lee Gause, Founder, Smile Design Gallery
