Today you can get gussied up for a night out and help Katrina victims in Houston at the same time. Amy Meyers is throwing
Black & White
, a two-year-anniversary party for her gallery Sippora benefiting the
United Way Katrina Refugee Relief Fund
. "I picked this fund because it was created specifically for people who fled from New Orleans and came to Houston," says Meyers. "So I'm taking money, toiletries, clothing, shoes, food -- anything that will help out the victims -- at the door. If people could just bring something, anything, that would really make a difference." Throw on your hottest, hippest black-and-white duds and head to the show's opening, which features sculptures and paintings from local artists including Harvey Bott and Earl Staley. Gawk at body-painted models, nosh on hors d'oeuvres and chill to the live music. And don't be shy about dropping cash for the art -- 10 percent of the proceeds will go to the fund. 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The exhibit "Black & White" runs through September 30. 234 West Gray. For information, call 713-520-1085 or visit www.sippora.com. Free.
