Notable guests include Delegates Sheila Hixson and Heather Mizeur and State Senator Jamie Raskin, County Councilmember Valerie Ervin and avid art collector, Dr. Michael Pollack. The screening is the focal point of the annual fundraiser, which includes a question and answer session with special guests Dr. Martin Irvine and Roger Gastman, followed by the silent art auction and reception.

Martin Irvine is the founder and director of Irvine Contemporary and the curator behind Street/Studio, featuring works by artists who use the street and urban space as extensions of their studios, and who bring the street and urban sites into their studio, opening June 20 at Irvine Contemporary. Roger Gastman, originally from Bethesda, Maryland, is a well-regarded publisher, filmmaker and graffiti trailblazer who is currently working on his new book: WRITING: The History of American Graffiti with Caleb Neelon and producing a documentary film about DC’s graffiti legend, Cool Disco Dan.
