𝓕𝓐𝓒𝓔𝓢: 𝓐𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓸𝓮 𝓞𝔀𝓮𝓷𝓼 & 𝓙𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓼 𝓣𝓲𝓼𝓬𝓱𝓵𝓮𝓻 on view in the gallery today from 12 - 5 PM.

Owens and Tischler’s paintings pull from art history, photography, and anime, then transform them into something uniquely theirs. They expand portraiture by making the face a site of change, where form emerges through gesture, repetition, and accumulation. Working fast across many pieces, both are built through an additive process, layering paint over time to reveal the transformation.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the PASC Forward Fundraiser last night! ✨

Heartfelt remarks were shared from STEP CEO Sara Grivetti, PASC Program Manager Anthony Marcellini, patron Joel Martin, and JJ & Anthony Curis of @librarystreetcollective. We also heard powerful personal stories from PASC artists Angela Rhodes, Chantell Donwell, and Lewis Foster. Last night, a short film about PASC premiered by @neighborhoodbodegadet, directed by Danielle Eliska with cinematography by Sara Griffith.

Guests also enjoyed a sneak peek of 𝓕𝓐𝓒𝓔𝓢: 𝓐𝓵𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓸𝓮 𝓞𝔀𝓮𝓷𝓼 & 𝓙𝓪𝓶𝓮𝓼 𝓣𝓲𝓼𝓬𝓱𝓵𝓮𝓻 before tonight’s opening reception (5–7 PM). Come see it in person!

Thank you for supporting art and the PASC community. Shoutout to our amazing staff for supporting the event!

A look back at the 2026 NYCxDESIGN Festival 2026.✨ the action was spread across the boroughs with more events, exhibitions, talks, showroom activations than ever before.

Huge shout out to the @nycxdesign board and executive director @ileneshaw for her brilliant leadership and to my colleagues @novitapr and on the steering committee as we all worked together to support the promotion and planning on this vibrant global network of designers, innovators, cultural voices, brands, makers and emerging talent.

Some highlights included, visiting Shine, the special @NYCxDesign lighting exhibition, hearing @Calatrava speak about his work, going on a night time boat ride with lighting experts @infooidg and @hervedescotes to learn about their work in their sparkling NY waterfront, the opening day events in Times Square and Fidi, client activations and launches.. not enough time in the day!!!! #iloveny

The final numbers are not yet ready but based on last year’s attendance number over 163,000 attendees, the scale, quality and exuberance of the festival reinforced the organizers’ decision to remain committed to the spring time frame, even with the eventual pivot of ICFF to the fall.

Also a moment to recognize @melissastroll and @maiarellistudio for the great 2026 guide.. and Giona for the new Festival creative and website!!!

Caroline @caroline.m.benzing had a low bar when it came to curly hair products.

Three months with ShamFree, and she says it’s the best her hair has ever felt.

Because real hydration doesn’t sit on the surface.
It sinks deeper — into the cuticle.

Not coating.
Not masking.
Integrating.

💦When hydration is silicone-free and water-soluble,
it works for the hair, not against it.
⭐️Curls respond when they’re understood.

Just visited the Man Ray show at the Met, and was happy to see an old friend mentioned in the credits. Met Julien Levy in Provence while living in Lacoste. He agreed to sit for a portrait. Loved listening to him talk.

Day 5 🇫🇷🥖🥂

We spent the day at a few talks and programs, including one on Detroit’s music culture with an introduction to Detroit Salon and their mission to spotlight Detroit’s creative influence on the world. It was led by the distinguished @ehogik and moderated by the beautiful @dreamhampton . The conversation touched on how deeply music and fashion shape Detroit’s global impact.

Later, I saw my dad’s @olayamidabls work on display at the Hôtel de Talleyrand. The lighting, the placement, everything was breathtaking.

That evening, we gathered in another room of this grand palace for our We Are Ona dinner hosted by @detroitsalonofficial .

What an incredible night. 🇫🇷🖤

My color for the year has been blue and it’s funny how it found me on this trip before I could even realize it.
