Russel Simmons's Art for Life benefit took to Fairview Farms in the Hamptons on July 27 and was produced by Ronnie Davis Productions. Its idyllic theme, "Field of Dreams," came to life in whimsical decor from DN Concepts. According to the company's creative director, Bruce Sutka, the design team had "a goal of providing the ambiance of creative expression and inspiration. [The fund-raiser] is all about making the dreams of young people a reality."
Toward that end, kites suspended over every table had colorful signs on their tails that held the names of artistic vocations such as "dancer" and "poet." The tables also had grassy centerpieces that served as anchors, as well as patchwork linens by Roberto Cavalli that were created for Art for Life.
