Our Welcome in spring event held on April 28th,
Is a fabulous evening where old and new friends mingled, and shared their joy for the greening of our earth, once again celebrating the annual renewal of life. We had many new friends added who were invited by our committed guests. These wonderful new guests easily joined us in the festivities. Several of our party-goers were dressed in bright colors showing their creativity by welcoming spring, including yours truly. Everyone was having a terrific time, reuniting with old friends and meeting new people. Many stayed very late, most remained until after 11:00 pm - they could not leave because they were having so much fun, meeting, greeting, socializing and having unique discussions with our VIP guest celebrity artist MARCO of MARCOART. Sadly, I had to leave him alone to fend with our guests, due to my rush in preparing for my trip, and touring once again to several countries throughout Europe.
The venue was held again at The World Bar at Trump Tower International by the United Nations and produced by yours truly, Gloria T. Cressler, CEO/Founder of Elite Professional Networking Group and Editor & Host of Black Tie International Magazine & TV. Co-hosted by Black Tie International Magazine, Power Team International, Giorgio G. Cognac (by famous designer Giorgio GUCCI), and Emperors Vodka, Wine World Wide Inc., and Global Fine Wines & Food Connection.
Our VIP guests were led by our long-time friend Award Winning Director, Producer and Writer, Dean Love of The FBI File, Life in Mars, Queen Elizabeth 1 (The Virgin Queen), and many others. Dean, always graciously gives us his presence- when he is not traveling all over the world filming movies. And once again, we have the presence of our good friend, lovely and truly amazing Maria Soccor, actor, director and producer. She is also the cousin of the famous actor Stanley Tucci, Opera Singer Cristina Fontanelli and of course Dr. Olga Alexakos, the President of The Association of Greek American Professional Women (AGAPW).
The Welcome in spring event was attended by so many of our wonderful loyal friends, and new additions, which we appreciate greatly call having new friends. The sharing included stories about their lives, life, and discussed business strategies and networked looking for entrepreneurial opportunities. Everyone is looking forward towards our next fabulous event and joining us and the center of attention will be the President of The Greater New York Chamber of Commerce: Mark Jaffe and their members. So it should be another interesting and fun event, again as always…
The featured celebrity guest of course was the Artist: MARCO of MARCOART, dubbed as the next Andy Warhol. Marcoart is a full service high end, POP Art studio helmed by the Legendary POP Artist Marco. The Marcoart Mobile is always on the move providing murals, POP portraits, tribute pieces, children's parties, and a lot of charity events... MARCO believes that art is for all people. MARCO has been commissioned and has co-branded with some of the biggest names in film, television, music, entertainment, politics and business including Quentin Tarantino, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Moby, Fashion Designer Marc Ecko & Russell Simons with RUN DMC (in which I was lucky to be a part of the event where they collaborated together).
Entertainment was provided by Toby, led by the artist Marco. Marco founded Toby Soba and the Smokestax as a way to reflect on his experiences traveling to the Tsunami affected areas of Japan, such as Ishinomaki where they entertained the local children, and provided several charity art exhibitions and fundraising events
for the victims of the tsunami.
Marco’s original paintings and drawings are sold for thousands of dollars international and locally, MARCOART publishes Children’s books, licenses products, like china dishes, cups, pillows for UNICEFF, and other products like calendars, towels and watches for SWATCH (his design with Swatch Watch is still the most sellable SWATCH Watch) In the past every time Swatch open a new store in different parts of the World, They always asked Marco to make a Mural Paintings for the this new store, And then they invite Marco to sign Autographs and have pictures with the guests and the guests really have a wonderful time. He has a lot of Mural paintings all over New York, and if you happen to be at the New Jersey Airport at the old Continental Lobby they have a very large Mural paintings of Marco at the wall. Right now Marco is working on an animated children's cartoon, a TV Show, and an illustrated novel. He has donated a lot of his work to philanthropic Gala Fundraisers, and to thousands of charity organizations.
Marco is preparing for his exhibitions in the fall in Japan, Dubai, Belgium, Germany, and negotiations are in the works to have an exhibition at the beautiful 400-year-old, 5 Star Resort, Bio-Hotel by the Austrian Alps in Tyrol Austria called STANGLWIRT. A wonderful luxurious mountain escape, an exclusive hotel frequented by International Celebrities and politicians for many many years. When you are there, you feel like you are in heaven and you can smell the fresh air from the alps… Do check out this fabulous hotel online, go to: www.stanglwirt.com. Maria Hauser one of the daughters and also help in running the hotel, also suggested that MARCO should have an exhibition at the Kitzbuhel Country Club. Marco, also works with children, where he spends hours teaching them art, and is such an inspiration for them. This is an excellent way to incorporate them into the moral of the children, especially if they can make their own art while they learn. Feel free to contact me about the fabulous Stanglwirt Hotel and contact information for MARCO by email at queenglori@aol.com, or gloria@blacktiemagazine.com.
