Okay, we're not actually sure if they do, but we are certain that they support the commission, production of presentation of art infiltrating the public realm; the mission of the New York City based Creativetime company. Yesterday J. Mendel hosted a shopping and sipping event at his Upper East Side boutique to benefit the organization, with fellow patrons Lisa Anastos, Ann Caruso,  Montgomery Frazier and Alina Cho thinking about holiday shopping while also promoting future creative projects.
