Open the Gates!

The young art lovers who turned out to support GenArt at last night's big benefit decamped to Chelsea nightclub The Gates for an after-party that lasted well into the early morning hours.
GenArt, the organization that supports emerging fashion designers, musicians and visual artists, celebrated its fifteenth anniversary with a night whose mission was to raise money for the struggling organization. (A cruel irony, given that GenArt itself was founded to help struggling artists.) But times are tough and GenArt decided to hold its first benefit in more than ten years to help bring in some much-needed funds. Among the supporters in attendance were Miss USA Kristen Dalton, Real Housewife Alex McCord, Gossip Girl Laura Breckenridge and Project Runway victor Christian Siriano.
To help fill the coffers, seventy artists donated pieces that were put up for sale, at prices from $300 to $5,000. One of the earliest sellers of the evening was a large portrait of Robert DeNiro, by photographer Paul Gerben.
