The Aplós World is a celebration of community, connection, and the simple things that surround us.
An Evening with BOFFO:
BOFFO, a nonprofit promoting innovative art and design, orchestrated a private fundraising event featuring Aplós cocktails and chef Woldy Kusina's creations. The event highlighted BOFFO's role as the Fire Island Pines queer arts residency organization.
Renowned for its annual summer artist residency program, BOFFO cultivates creativity and enriches the community by inviting artists to undergo residencies, culminating in exhibitions, performances, and community engagement events.
Alexis Stitler x Colbo NYC:
Guests enjoyed Aplós cocktails while Alexis unveiled her latest collection at Colbo, a contemporary art gallery located in the Lower East Side of NYC. Alexis, an artist, explores memory's abstraction through gathered objects from personal experiences.
Influenced by compulsions and repetitions, her work aims to evoke a warm sense of deja vu in viewers by 'clipping' everyday objects to clothing, furniture, and other items.
