ABANDONED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Last September, Digital Imprint gathered 200 guests at photographer Giulio Muratori’s “Abandoned” exhibit at the Goodfellas Gallery in Toronto’s Queen West. From an airplane hangar to a jail cell, the exhibit’s 22 photos featured his deepest and darkest work of deserted structures in Italy. Joined by Global Family’s executive director Jennifer Jensen and Italian consul general Giuseppe Pastorelli, guests kicked back with bubbly, vino and Steam Whistle beer paired with hors d’oeuvres from chef Gavin Vasquez. Proceeds from the event went toward The Daughter Project, which provides long-term holistic services to sex-trafficking victims. www.digital-imprint.ca/abandoned

Cindy and Howard Rachofsky’s Richard Meier–designed home in Dallas was once again filled with various dignitaries for the 16th annual Two X Two for Aids and Art benefit dinner and auction. Among the nearly 465 guests in attendance was entertainer CeeLo Green, Sotheby’s chairman Jamie Niven and celebrity chef Thomas Keller. This year’s live and silent auctions offered 125 works of art, with 2014 amfAR honoree Wade Guyton’s piece alone snagging $2.6 million. The black-tie gala raised a record $7 million for amfAR and the Dallas Museum of Art. www.twoxtwo.org
