About Transfiguration School:

Founded in 1832 Transfiguration School is one of the oldest elementary schools in New York City and is located on Mott Street, in the heart of Chinatown.  Dedication to education in a value centered family environment continues to be the hallmark of Transfiguration's reputation. The students are nurtured to excel to the best of their abilities in their academic achievement, their development of character, and their service to the community.  Students come to the school from all around the city. Year after year, the students in grades one through eight post enviable test scores ranking the school among New York City's best.

 

Proceeds from the benefit will go to further the services and mission of the school. Please go to the gallery's website to place a bid. 

 

From the gallery and the school (students, parents, faculty and staff), our deepest gratitude to all the artists who so generously donated works to this most worthy cause.

Thank you for your support and for placing your bid.
