Photography, music and fashion converged Thursday night at Stand With Us, the annual benefit held by nonprofit photography and lens-based artist incubator Baxter St at Camera Club of New York.
Guests Mark Ronson, Derrick Adams, JiaJia Fei and others were in attendance for this year’s edition that was held at the Angel Orensanz Foundation.
Stand With Us is a nontraditional gala that substitutes the complicated seating arrangement and arduous show program with a cocktail party and performances to celebrate lens-based artists and artists of all mediums. This year’s event marked the third iteration of the benefit, and honored artists Zoe Buckman and Ivan Forde and Antwaun Sargent, the author of “The New Black Vanguard: Photograph Between Art and Fashion.”

It’s not a sitdown dinner, it’s a party and it’s a time for everybody — our artists, writers, curators, our supporters and our friends — all in the same room and it’s just an extension of who we are.”
The first event was held in 2018 when artists in the Baxter St community were creating works in response to the political
