Thursday, January 8, was the grand opening of Nigel Barker’s newest photo exhibit, Haiti: Hunger and Hope at the Milk Gallery in New York.
The exhibit was a fundraiser for the charity Edeyo, an organization that works towards better food and education for children in Haiti.
Over 800 people came out to support Nigel, including designer, Harper’s Bazaar fashion editor Mary Alice Stephenson, Seventeen editor Ann Shoket, Adrien Brody, actrees Susan Sarandon, model Kristy Hinze, director Spike Lee and House’s Lisa Edelstein.
The event raised over $20,000 for Edeyo, which is enough to build a school cafeteria and cover the teachers’ wages for a while year.
Nigel posted some pictures of the event on his blog, check them out here.
The exhibit runs until January 13th at the Milk Gallery (450 West 15th street). All of Nigel’s photos are for sale, and those proceeds will also go to benefitting Edeyo.
