LAST SCENE HERE

BY JONATHAN SOROFF

It was an eclectic mix of artists; art collectors and lounge lizards who turned out for the fifth annual Art of July party at G-Lounge.

A benefit for Project Star - a center that provides services to children and families living with AIDS' - the evening featured a silent auction boasting work bysuch local talents as Brian Patrick Adams, David Zermenri, Randace Rauscher, Tom Cotton and Kevin Banks.

Among the crows perusing the artwork and placing their bids were hotel owner Bob Sage, real estate titan and Asian art collector Roger Dashow, House of Blues art curator Carole Crittendon, the ICA's Naomi Arin, restaurateur Jim Apteker of Veronique, the indefatigable Jon Scott Shore, and one guest, who made the morbid observation that "Art is the only ting people buy hoping that the person who made it will die, so it'll increase in value."
