Just a quick reminder that our Old City neighbor, Vivant Art Collection, is hosting a fundraiser this evening to assist with rescue efforts in Haiti. They'll have light refreshments, as well as psychologists, grief counselors, politicians and members of the Haitian community on hand; and all donations will go directly to the Haitian Rescue Fund.

Florcy Morrisett, Vivant's owner, tells us that not only will they be accepting donations, but a portion of all art sales will go toward the Haiti Rescue Fund, as well, so if you're looking for something new to hang on your wall (like A. Giervilil's Market V, pictured above), now's the time.

Additionally, Morrisett and the Haitian Professionals of Philadelphia have gathered a truckload of medical supplies, which Morrisett tells me they've shipped today. "It's one bit of good news we have today," she says.

Vivant Haitian Relief, Mon., Jan. 18, 5-8 p.m., free admission (donations welcome), Vivant Art Collection, 60 N. Second St., 215-922-6584, vivantartcollection.com.
