    Love Is

     

    -In keeping with NYCPSFF tradition of partnering with non-profit organizations, NYCPSFF is happy to announce a partnership with LOVE IS.

     

    The book was inspired by a crazy dream to start people talking about love and create positive change by supporting charities. With the help of children and adults from around the world, award winning international artists and photographers, a gorgeous coffee table book, LOVE IS, was created. Money from each book purchased is donated to charities. Click the book image below for details and stay tuned for more information:
