Volume 6, Issue 1 Spring 2013Sunday Supper, Best in Show

Best in ShowHurry to Chelsea Market to see Best in Show, photographer Dolly Faibyshev's signature collection of candid, private moments snapped at dog shows.

That awkward moment when your flirtatious toy dog winks slyly at the judges, when your corded poodle is so

busy mugging for the photographer that she won't show her line properly, or when the camera catches your prize-winning shih tzu squatting by a Wee Wee Puppy Pad. Photographer Dolly Faibyshev captures these moments and more with her characteristic humor and gentle satire.

Faibyshev says, "As an American born to Russian immigrants, the vicarious fantasy of America became ingrained in me from an early age. I experienced the relationship of my family to their adopted homeland and learned to define those experiences in pictures." Faibyshev explores the American dream in all of its forms, primarily by exposing private moments within the sophisticated spectacle of dog shows and rodeos.

Her signature series, Best in Show, takes viewers behind the scenes of the complex, often comical, world of dog shows. Best in Show is on view through March 31st at Chelsea Market. Faibyshev's work is available for purchase through Uprise Art, an invest-to-own outlet for up-and-coming art collectors. View Faibyshev's work at dollyfaibyshev.com.

I have an unconventional playlist for running—a lot of folk. Nothing lights a fire under my feet more than Willie Nelson's

cover of “City of New Orleans.” Recently, I was on my usual jaunt down the Hudson River Park Greenway listening to one of my favorite string bands, Old Crow Medicine Show, a group introduced to me by Billy Reid's Sarah Trapp in Nashville a few years ago. Billy Reid has a rich history in promoting musicians, and it got me thinking about the partnerships that Jamestown shares with its local music communities.

It's a thrill to host talented musicians at Jamestown’s properties, and nothing enlivens a space or brings a community together like a live band. Currently, Warehouse Row is hosting the Chat-tanooga Symphony and Opera (CSO) every third Thursday. These unstructured performances will allow the CSO to broad-en its reach within the community and provide an exceptional shopping experience at Warehouse Row. In New York, where rehearsal space is at a premium, our events coordinator Michael Ginsberg often loans the use of Chelsea Market's 400-foot con-course to local musicians for public rehearsals.

Music is also an essential component for fundraising. Ponce City Market in Atlanta kicked off its groundbreaking in Octo-ber 2011 with a huge block-party–style concert, headlined by The Indigo Girls. Party at Ponce helped Jamestown raise more than $80,000 for local charities. Nothing gets people, places, or “people places” going like live music. I hope to see you at a con-cert on a Jamestown property soon.

275 Foodies. 19 renowned chefs. Two great causes. Sunday, March 24th, Jamestown and the James Beard Foundation hosted the fifth annual Sunday Supper at Chelsea Market. This 275-person, family-style seated dinner prepared by 19 renowned chefs from across the country raised funds for James Beard Foundation’s scholarship for Fulton Youth of the Future at Robert Fulton Houses. For the first time, Wellness in the Schools, also a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) or-ganization, also benefited from the fundraiser. “We’re cele-brating five years of commitment to the youth of New York City,” said Michael Phillips, COO of Jamestown. “Educat-ing children about making smart, healthy dietary choices is something that will change their lives forever. The tradition of Sunday Supper gives us an incredible platform to raise awareness while showcasing a rare culinary experience that is a highlight of our annual calendar.”

March 24, 2013This convivial Friends of James Beard Benefit brings together a formidable group of chefs to prepare the ultimate family-style feast.

National Geographic, in its 2011 article "The Art of the Deal," calls Mohamed Elmaarouf "Marrakesch in

microcosm" and describes him as street savvy yet innocent and full of openhearted generosity. His enthusiasm for the authentic Moroccan goods he sells at his Chelsea Market souk, Imports from Marrakesh, is equally openhearted. Mohamed learned the art of deal-making from his father and uncles, who were market traders. He left school at age 13 to become a businessman. "My family didn't think I could do it," he says, "but I succeeded."

By 1997, Mohamed had befriended Robyn and Howie, owners of Bowery Kitchen Supply, and they invited him to set up a souk in a corridor by their Chelsea Market shop. Today, the breathtaking handmade carpets, tiles, ceramics, lamps and other goods—which Mohamed still procures himself on his frequent buying trips—are featured in venerated publications such as Martha Stewart Living, Vogue, Real Simple, the New York Times and more. A few months ago, after a short hiatus from Chelsea Market, Imports from Marrakesh returned with a new and improved souk space across from L'Art del Gelato. One little-known fact about Imports of Marrakesh is that Mohamed has a small stock of chipped or broken tiles and other similarly damaged goods. He is happy to donate these to schools, community gardens and other goods causes. He invites you to inquire if you are interested.
