Last night, Monday, April 29th, Chanel hosted the 14th annual celebration of the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival Artists Program at Balthazar in New York City. The evening honored the artists who have contributed original artwork to the festival’s award-winning filmmakers. This year’s contributing artists included Jeff Koons, Shepard Fairey, JR, Eddie Kang, Swoon, Stephen Hannock, Jane Dickson, Fred Tomaselli, and Walter Robinson.
This partnership reflects Chanel’s continuous commitment to creation and artistry in their varied forms. Throughout history, art has played an integral role in the House of Chanel. House founder and visionary Gabriel Chanel surrounded herself with the leading artists of her time, drawing inspiration and support from her fellow creative peers.
