The Nobelity Project, The Loren Hotel and The Routh Family are thrilled to unveil “Light Work for Kenya,” a one-night gallery exhibit and sale on Saturday, Sept. 7, celebrating the hotel’s renovation of Austin’s historic Paggi House. The event will feature artwork by a distinguished group of artists and photographers to help fund The Nobelity Project’s construction of a new preschool at remote Oloile Primary in the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro.
The show, curated by The Nobelity Project co-founder Turk Pipkin, will include works by visual artists Julie Speed, Terry Allen, Bob Schneider, Evan Voyles, Sam Yeates, Gareth Maguire, MM Pipkin, Darden Smith and Caroline Wright. Featured photographers include Stephanie Duprie Routh, Dan Winters, Scott Newton, Danny Clinch, Gary Miller and noted African wildlife photographers Turk Pipkin, Emmanuel Jambo, Adam Bannister, Federico Veronesi and Rodney Bursiel.
“We are tremendously excited to share these visual works from many of our favorite artists and photographers,” says Pipkin. ”It’s truly an all-star show, with more than twenty works of art to be admired and to occupy a place of honor in the homes of some very lucky buyers. We’re indebted to each of these artists for their generosity in helping us build our 41st Kenyan preschool.”
