Mere hours before her partner, President Francois Hollande, was to speak at the UN, Madame Valerie Trierweiler took a tour of the Invisible Dog Art Center [Brooklyn NY] lead by our director, Lucien Zayan. She throroughly enjoyed speaking with Steven & William Ladd whose "Shaboygen" she saw on the ground floor before visiting the second and third floors to meet with various artists-in-residence, Joanna Neborsky, Prune Nourry, Malcolm Brown, Mac Premo et Anne Mourier and 2FIK.

We are honored to have Madame Trierweiler visit us and thrilled that she loved our building, our art and our artists. This visit also celebrates the end of the first week of our very first Kickstarter fundraising campaign to fund the entire program of the fourth season.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us thus far - we have raised nearly 40% of our goal in just one week!! Keep spreading the word so others can contribute, and if you have not yet donated, please visit our Kickstarter page.

Today, french magazine Paris Match, relates her visit: During the French President's visit to New York for the UN general assembly, his partner VT appeared happy and relaxed. She told us she "loved visiting The Invisible Dog" an art center created by the French man Lucien Zayan, in an old Brooklyn factory that she visited that same morning.
