Where Art Meets Impact & Jazz
A charity art evening at Victor Gallery in support of Digital for Social
New York, NY — May 16, 2026 — Victor Gallery is pleased to present “Where Art Meets Impact & Jazz,” a special charity art evening on Saturday, May 16, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM, at its Manhattan location, 232 E 59th Street, New York, NY 10022. The event brings together an international group of contemporary artists in support of Digital for Social, an organization dedicated to empowering small nonprofits through digital tools, education, and access to essential marketing resources.
A Cozy Evening of Music & Emotion
An intimate night of music, connection, and storytelling, featuring internationally acclaimed artists:
Yulia Geniush – celebrated vocalist and TV/radio host, featured on NTV-America
Boris Kurganov – New York–based saxophonist and violinist with an international jazz career
Valentin Korniienko – acclaimed bassist, composer, and Honored Artist of Ukraine
Alexander Chaplinskiy – internationally recognized pianist, known as the “Rock Star Pianist”
The evening features heartfelt performances inspired by real love stories—blending jazz, classical, and contemporary sounds with warmth, energy, and charm.
This curated exhibition features works by Christine Jardin-Sourgen, Danhôo, Antonine de Saint Pierre, Maryam Zadeh, Tis & Vitaly, and Annette Kaplan—artists whose practices reflect a dynamic intersection of culture, material, and contemporary expression.
Christine Jardin-Sourgen explores the emotional impact of color, light, and natural materials, informed by her global artistic research and environmental consciousness. Her work reflects a deep sensitivity to place and energy, expressed through the use of natural pigments and organic materials.
Danhôo’s work merges calligraphic tradition with abstraction, drawing inspiration from Jackson Pollock and transforming ideograms into expressive fields of movement and energy. Antonine de Saint Pierre presents sculptural works in steel that balance strength and elegance, offering a refined reinterpretation of femininity through form and scale.
Antonine de Saint Pierre presents large-scale steel sculptures and bas-reliefs that balance strength and elegance. Influenced by the artistic movements of the 1950s and 1960s, her work offers a refined reinterpretation of femininity through form, texture, and material. What began as a personal exploration evolved into a recognized practice, with her works now exhibited by galleries and sought after by collectors.
Maryam Zadeh, a New York-based multidisciplinary artist originally from Iran, creates richly layered compositions that blend classical figuration with Persian cultural elements, reflecting identity, heritage, and transformation.
Tis & Vitaly, a parent-child visual artist duo based across New York, Belgium, and France, combine photography with materials such as tapestry, paper, and metal. Their work transforms everyday objects into vibrant, kaleidoscopic compositions, creating a poetic visual language that bridges craft and contemporary art. Their works are held in private collections across Europe, the Americas, and Africa, and their photo-tapestry pieces are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Weaving at Kamienna Góra. They have exhibited internationally, including at the National Museum of Unity, as well as at galleries and art fairs across the United States, Europe, and Africa.
Annette Kaplan is an avant-garde multidisciplinary artist whose work spans tapestry, painting, and sculpture. Known for her large-scale woven tapestries defined by bold, abstract dualities, her work reflects a timeless and architectural presence. Her recent paintings blend classical realism with vibrant abstraction, creating compositions that are both dynamic and expressive.
Beyond the exhibition, the evening underscores a shared commitment to social impact. Digital for Social supports grassroots nonprofits through emergency response initiatives, digital advertising, marketing integration, education, and verification programs—enabling organizations to expand their reach and effectiveness in an increasingly digital world.
“Where Art Meets Impact” offers collectors, designers, and art patrons an opportunity to engage with compelling contemporary works while contributing to a meaningful cause—an evening where art and philanthropy come together in a refined gallery setting.
