Ejaz Khan Toasts Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation At
Private Preview of New Exhibition Passion Art Photographer and
Explorer Ejaz Khan celebrated the opening of his new photo
exhibition Passion with a private preview to toast The
Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation (SASF) on February 13th at
his gallery in the Fashion District.
The evening was hosted by Ambassador at Large and Honorary Board Member
for SASF Jean Shafiroff and featured images of wild horses Khan
took in France as well as a slideshow and video from his recent
trip to the mountains in Norway, where he photographed the Musk
Ox.
Passion is set to be open to the public through March 14th and a
portion of all sales will be donated to the Foundation. Midway
through the evening host Jean Shafiroff and Executive Vice
President Clifton B. Knight took the floor to welcome all guests
and animal lovers for joining them to support the shelter and
the new exhibition.
They went on to speak about their mission to help all homeless
animals find loving homes noting their upcoming Unconditional
Love Gala, which will take place on Saturday, July 21st and
feature a donated work by Khan in the silent auction.
It was at that time Khan took the stage to speak about his experience in
Norway and how he turned from the catwalk to the wilderness.
Khan stated, “I have photographed fashion from the past 20 years
realizing I was losing my passion for it, I decided to go out
into the wild and rediscover a new one, which in turn led you
all here tonight.”
The opening welcomed more than 100 guests including SASF Junior board
members Kate McEntee, Sarah Vacchiano, Isabelle Mercier-Dalphond
and Elizabeth Shafiroff, Executive Director of SASF Jerry
Rosenthal, Spokeswoman for Mayor’s Alliance Stephanie Mattera,
Irene Michaels, Dr. Christopher Calapai, Nancy Chemtob, Maggie
Norris, Harriette Rose Katz, Peter Thomas Roth, Helen Yarmak,
Leesa Rowland, Silvia Frieser, Lucia Hwong Gordon and Jennifer
Dwork.
As an explorer always looking for his next adventure, Khan will
be heading to Ellesmere Island in Canada this April for three
weeks to photograph Arctic Wolves.
About the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation: Southampton Animal
Shelter Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
dedicated to providing for the welfare of homeless pets in our
community and, in turn, placing them in permanent caring homes.
The SASF’s mission is to provide for the welfare of animals and
to reduce the number of homeless pets. The Shelter’s goal is to
promote and nourish the bond between people and animals through
adoption, education and community outreach. SASF recently won an
award as the finest shelter on Long Island and rated in the top
10% of the country for their live release rates. The Shelter
leads the country with its "live release rate", which means that
of all animals brought to the shelter, 96% are adopted into
loving homes. SASF is an open intake shelter that welcomes stray
pets regardless of age, breed, or health providing them with the
finest care, food, training, and medical attention. No adoptable
animal is left behind!
