“I wanted to create something different, something uplifting and powerful…an event that truly celebrated the arts, as I presented the best in live music, spoken word, dance, fashion and live art,” Fleming explained. “We are very excited that we have had sold out nights since our first show.”
While the LoveJonesNYC Showgirls, the LoveJonesNYC Live Band, and the LoveJonesNYC Background Singers, set the mood for the evening, a featured international painter paints a live portrait and puts to canvas the expressions of the featured artists. By the end of each show, the painter has created a masterpiece original painting, which the audience has an opportunity to bid on during a live auction.
Lovers of music, spoken word, art, fashion and dance are treated to an evening of artistic expressions where J-Harris hosts and also performs.
