About the event
In response to the recent devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, St. Petersburg contemporary art galleries D-Gallerie and ARTicles are uniting to host Art Solidarity for Venezuela, a special benefit exhibition and silent auction.
This evening brings together artists, collectors, and community pillars to transform a shared sense of urgency into immediate, practical support for families affected by the tragedy.
How It Works & Where the Funds Go
To ensure absolute transparency and rapid deployment of emergency funds, all collections and donations are fully managed and administered by the Carlos Carrasco Foundation, a registered non-profit led by Venezuelan professional baseball player Carlos Carrasco and his wife, Karelis Carrasco.
100% of all proceeds from the silent auction will go directly to the Carlos Carrasco Foundation to fund on-the-ground humanitarian and community relief efforts in Venezuela.
10% of all ARTicles sales for the evening will be donated to the foundation's relief fund.
10% of all D-Gallerie sales throughout the entire month of July will also be donated directly to the foundation's relief fund.
Cultural Partnership & Food
The evening is proudly presented in partnership with local favorite Carupano Kitchen. Guests will enjoy authentic Venezuelan culinary traditions, highlighting the deep connection between contemporary fine art, cultural heritage, and shared community purpose.
Featured Art
The silent auction will feature a curated selection of contemporary fine art generously donated by a collective of both prominent local and international artists. Whether you are an established collector or a neighbor looking to support the cause, every bid makes a direct impact.
