    Artful Announcement

    Two x Two unveils event chair and honorees for 15th annual gala

    Jennifer Chininis
    Jun 27, 2013 | 5:52 pm

    Two x Two hosts Cindy and Howard Rachofsky just announced Dallas art patron Christen Wilson will serve as the event chair for the 2013 charity gala and auction. Artist Luc Tuymans and Kiehl’s Since 1851 president Chris Salgardo will be presented with the amfAR Award for Excellence for Artistic Contributions to the Fight Against AIDS and the amfAR Leadership Award, respectively, at the 15th annual fundraising affair set for October 26 at the Rachofsky House.

     

    A longtime Two x Two supporter, Wilson is chairman for the Nasher Sculpture Center Advisory Committee and chairs museum fundraising events in Dallas, New York and London. She currently serves on the International Council for the Tate Modern in London and the North American Acquisitions Committee for the Tate. Earlier this year, she was the co-chair for the Tate Artists Dinner in New York.

     

     Tuymans, a Belgian artist, is widely credited with contributing to the revival of painting in the 1990s. His sparsely colored abstracts are typically painted from pre-existing imagery such as photographs and video stills, which makes his canvases appear as though they were created from a failing memory. Tuymans has explored diverse and sensitive topics including the Holocaust, the effects of images from 9/11 and the ambiguous utopia of the Disney empire.

     

    Salgardo has been with Kiehl’s for 13 years — the past seven as president — and the New York-based skincare company has been a staunch supporter of amfAR for more than a decade. Kiehl’s has created several limited-edition products to benefit the foundation, and, in 2010, Salgardo launched “Kiehl’s LifeRide for amfAR,” a week-long celebrity motorcycle ride through major U.S. cities. Under Salgardo’s leadership, Kiehl’s Since 1851 has donated more than $800,000 to amfAR.

     

    Two x Two draws prominent artists, art collectors and philanthropists from around the world to Dallas for the annual sellout black-tie gala, which is part of a week-long series of events. Sharon Stone, Sigourney Weaver, Shirley MacLaine, Liza Minnelli, Barry Manilow, Natasha Richardson, John Benjamin Hickey, Taylor Dayne, Dita Von Teese, Stanley Tucci, Gavin Rossdale, Alan Cumming, Cheyenne Jackson and Patti LaBelle are among the VIPs who have attended in years past.

     

    This year also marks the 15th year for the fundraising affair that has to date raised more than $40 million in support of essential AIDS research at amfAR and for the Contemporary Art Acquisitions Fund at the Dallas Museum of Art. It is the largest U.S. fundraiser for both amfAR and the Dallas Museum of Art, and funds raised at Two x Two have enabled the DMA to acquire more than 150 works.

    Artist Luc Tuymans is the recipient of the 2013 amfAR Award for Excellence for Artistic Contributions to the Fight Against AIDS.

    Dallas TikTok star Keith Lee crafts matcha drink for flood relief

    Keith Lee hoists his special matcha drink.

    The devastating floods that swept across Central Texas on July 4 are bringing out all kinds of charitable endeavors — and that includes a limited-edition beverage from Dallas' favorite TikTok food influencer Keith Lee.

    Lee, a social media sensation whose online food reviews have benefited hundreds of small restaurants, is partnering with Dallas-based La La Land Cafe on a special drink: Called the La La Land X Keith Lee Latte, it's a matcha drink in which 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards Kerr County flood relief.

    La La Land is the coffee chain founded in Dallas in 2019 with a mission to provide opportunities for fostering youth and individuals in need. It now has 10 locations across Dallas-Fort Worth, plus three in Houston and six in Southern California.

    The new Keith Lee Latte will consist of double ceremonial matcha, with secret syrup, matcha cloud, a whole fresh strawberry, flaky salt, and matcha powder. (Lee can be seen enjoying the beverage in this video.)

    Matcha is the Japanese green tea powder that has experienced a surge in popularity, appearing in everything from drinks like the matcha latte to desserts like matcha mousse.

    Lee, who relocated to Dallas in 2024, has been on a matcha kick ever since he tried it in Chicago, which he says "led me down a rabbit hole," and it has become his trademark drink. In May, he visited seven cafes across DFW in search of the perfect matcha in town, and that included La La Land, where he ordered a matcha with almond milk.

    He also has a charitable history, including a special visit he made to Taste Project in Fort Worth to donate $4,000 to support the nonprofit's mission to fight food insecurity.

    The Keith Lee Latte will be available at all La La Land cafes beginning Friday July 11, for a limited time only. From July 11-27, 100 percent of all proceeds will support flood relief efforts in Kerr County - "a community in our home state that’s hurting," La La Land Cafe says.
