Painting the Town

"Art heels and it gives people hope," said art dealer Mary Boone at the Publicolor benefit last night. And that about sums up the spirit of the event, which featured a good hour of painting "Yes We Can" themed murals, followed by a dinner in the high school gym. Instead of throwing a 30th anniversary party for her business, Ms. Boone gave a percentage of proceeds from her sales last year to Publicolor, and funded art projects in 30 public schools (she declined to say how much the donation totaled).
