Hennessy celebrated the opening of their “Project Wild Rabbit: Gallery 24” last night in the Soho section of New York City.
Since teaming up in 2011, Pratt Institute and Hennessy Cognac curated a campaign to encourage innovation among emerging talent who represent Hennessy’s mantra “Never Stop. Never Settle.”
This year, Pratt student Christiana Theophanopoulos (pictured above) was selected as the winner of Hennessy’s #ProjectWildRabbit campaign when her original piece “Meraki” won over the hearts of Hennessy collaborators Nas, Shepard Fairey, Ryan McGinness, and Futura.
Christiana will be awarded seed money to jump start her career and will be featured on Hennessy’s various global platforms.
If you’re over 21, head on over to New York City’s Openhouse gallery located on 201 Mulberry Street. The gallery will not only feature Christiana’s winning artwork, but also the artwork of contestants that represented Hennessy’s “Wild Rabbit” campaign.
The gallery closes tonight at 9 p.m. EST.
