About the piece
Artist Jake Sugarevski ingeniously integrated the essence of the Great Gatsby era into his donated masterpiece, sourcing a functional rotary telephone that epitomizes the 1920s charm. Adding his distinctive touch, he transformed an Authentic Louis Vuitton MM Monogram Bag into a pivotal element of the artwork, creating a singular piece—the world's only Louis Vuitton functional rotary telephone.
Crafted with unparalleled artistry and donated by Donate to Create to benefit Make A Wish Australia, this creation by Jake Sugarevski is nothing short of magnificent. It stands as a testament to his creativity and commitment to supporting meaningful causes through art.
On the evening
It all began with an idea. Imagine stepping into a dazzling evening at the Make A Wish Sydney Gala Fundraising Event in July 2023, themed as 'The Great Gatsby'. Every detail transported guests back to the roaring twenties, with everyone dressed in period-perfect attire. Amidst the glamour and excitement, a fierce competition unfolded at the live auction. One standout piece, curated, made and donated by Donate to Create, an exquisite artwork, sparked bidding that culminated in a triumphant $3000.00 sale. The entire amount was generously donated to support children and families associated with Make A Wish Australia.
Among the attendees was Donate to Create, deeply honored to be part of this significant fundraiser. Artist Jake Sugarevski stood proudly beside his masterpiece, his face radiant with gratitude and pride. This event exemplified how storytelling, both in person and online, can truly make a difference in changing lives and bringing dreams to fruition.
